To really consider what a dangerous stage is then consider this.
The African Rally Championship has just run the Safari Rally again in Kenya on semi-open roads. Conrad Rautenbach's agent was interviewed on TotakRally and he said that a clearance vehicle ran 30 minutes ahead of the field to open the stage but otherwise there was still a chance of local traffic ignoring that warning and enter the stage area.Happiness is using the side windows more than the windscreen
In reply to being asked what 240Kph on Watagans Road was like:-
\"Wait till I check my pants, I didn\'t know whether to sh#t myself or orgasm!!!\"

Traffic on roads is always a hazard on African events but most seem to understand and get out of the way, I was there and it didn't seem too bad but then there are always people with no sense of self-preservation, though personally I would say spectators standing in silly places makes me more worried. I'd say you tend to find this worst in central/eastern europe though.
If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!
