Default Mexican " Spidermen " drivers risk their lives

An interesting article about those South of the border who make their living ferrying unfinished truck and bus chassis assemblies around.

Very interesting, but is it really any more dangerous than riding say....a motorcycle?

I idolize these guys. I see them north of Mexico City heading south. Reminds me of the Road Warrior. I always give them a thumbs up.

Great Article.
