S2 E2 • Ho Chi Minh City
Home to more than 5 million motorbikes, Ho Chi Minh City is a veritable river of two-wheelers where drivers carry everything from windows and doors to entire families on their scooters. Host Andrew Younghusband learns how to flow with the crowd - surviving crazy roundabouts, cyclos, trucks, jeeps - even sidecar motorbikes leftover from the war.

S2 E3 • Port-au-Prince
Port-au-Prince is Haiti's capital and if you think there are no manhole covers because of the 2010 earthquake - you'd be wrong. They were always missing! This densely populated city is dominated by big and small buses called tap-taps - ornately decorated and badly-driven beasts that move and scare almost everyone.

S2 E4 • La Paz
If the altitude doesn't get you, the traffic will! That's what Andrew Younghusband learns in this exotic South American city, where rules of the road are optional and definitely quirky. He learns how to calm traffic like a local, dressed as a zebra (seriously - drivers pay attention and slow down.) He braves the infamous "Death Road" to witness the treacherous cliffs up close.

S2 E5 • Rome
All roads may lead to Rome, but you don't want to drive on them. Host Andrew Younghusband learns that the hard way... from 14-year-olds (yes, they can legally drive here!), pizza delivery boys, street cleaners, couriers - even the mayor! Rome may be dotted with spectacular landmarks, but it was not built for today's traffic -cobblestone, narrow streets, and archeological wonders tend to muck up the flow - not to mention, fire up those famous Italian tempers!

S2 E6 • Sao Paulo
If you thought samba and soccer were what Sao Paulo was famous for, think again. It's also known as home to the worst traffic jams in the world! Andrew Younghusband braves the gridlock, and rides with the fearless (some say reckless) motoboys - the couriers on motorcycles who deke in an out of the traffic like it was child's play. Andrew makes a delivery in the notorious favela which gives new meaning to close quarters
