The video clip below shows an astonishingly narrow mountain pass with hairpin bends. I haven't been able to identify the road or the country - can any readers help? Anyway, the passing skills required of heavy vehicle drivers on this pass simply boggle the mind.
I'd hate to be the filling in an eighteen-wheeler sandwich on that road!

Trollstigen (troll´s steps) in Norway, IMO.

Agree with Wojtee. We had to drive from Stavager to Trondheim a number of years ago, and I 'think' we actually went over that stretch... I was scared s**tless..
I'd bet there's whole stretches where most of those guardrails have very little paint on 'em...
Good grief! I thought Wolf Creek Pass was bad but at least it is 2 lane.
Wow, no room for mistakes there!
I would need my brown pants to take that one on..
