Is it seeing this with rose-tinted glasses, or before the late 70s it was indeed actually safer (physically, not medically) to undertake such a trip?

- LorenPechtel 2y agoI would say it was safer back then. The thing is the governments weren't hostile. And bandits didn't have guns. Crossing southern Iran we actually came across bandits. There was a chain of people across the road, including some that did not appear to be adults yet. The instructions from the authorities: treat it as a deadly force situation. Do not stop to render aid if someone is hit. The driver stepped on the gas, the line broke at the last instant, I think we passed a couple of feet from one of them. How would that play out now??
