  Many places around the world are pretty scary: Iranian Taxi Ride: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBVAeAJVtmY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBVAeAJVtmY I remember watching a documentary about Iran and the host was talking about how much safer the "unregulated" taxi services are. Of course he qualified by saying "safer" was a pretty kind word as they almost crashed several times during filming.

    That's crazy? Compared to the western world, sure, but seems pretty uneventful based on what I've seen in India.

    That didn't seem scary at all.

    The danger I meant were passengers getting robbed, raped, etc.
