Proposed Video Game

Driving along Haitian highways reminds me of a video game. Imagine driving a motorbike:

Obstacles to miss—cows, goats, pigs, chickens, pedestrians, unannounced speed bumps, potholes of all sizes, other vehicles that drive directly at you

Bonus points—passing other vehicles, finding cold drinks along the road

Challenges to visibility: dust, smog

Different levels: (1) smooth straight paved road (2) straight paved but potholed road (3) paved but curvy and potholed mountain road (4) non-paved dusty, rocky, road (5) non-paved, dusty, rocky, very hilly, rivers and anything else you can imagine.
