Thanks for a share, apparently its a coincidence that I was looking for the same information on youtube today, and I watched one video but it seemed pretty old. Appreciated!
 
This doesn't look like motorway with just 2 lanes.
i think definition of motorway(freeway) is not # of lanes. rather it's lack of intersections and stops etc. hence the name "freeway". in north America many freeways(british motorways) r two laned.

Only when passing in busy areas like major cities, # of lanes increase. But in less busy areas they become 2 lanes.
 
And, who on the earth will be driving 18 wheelers on such roads for a living???? It's like a life on the edge 24/7!!!! I see none other than the Pashtun folks!!!!
