It's always that way! you're sitting there, fat and happy, watching some guy swinging by his fingertips over 5000 feet of air, when you think "hang on!! who the hell is filming this??"

in theory that's right, but having travelled down that road (from la Paz) and then back up it I can say that there are some drivers on it who don't follow the rules and just barrel along however they want!
The number of roadside crosses is incredible, we saw the remains of a truck 600 feet below that had gone off the week before. There was one particularly nasty turn that has a guy with red and green flags controlling the traffic. He's not employed by the government, the lorry drivers all tip him on the way past - he stands in that particular spot as that is where a bus with almost his entire family (wife, kids, cousins etc) went off the road killing them all. We stopped and said hello, very sad story.

They drive on the left side of the road just on the Death Road itself, so that they can lean out the vehicles and see where the edge is. They drive on the right on all other roads in Bolivia

It's quite funny reading about how many on here are talking about bits of it being staged etc.
If you watch it again there are several shots of camera crew and support vehicles that the top gear production crew have put in on purpose just to keep the "internet geeks" talking/debating..
p.s. yes it is "entertainment" - enjoy

That must have been one awesome adventure, whatever your reasons for doing it.
