UpJanuary '08 - South America: Ushuaia, Argentina PrevNextSlideshow

The contraptions on the front wheels of the tour buses had me curious since I first saw them when we stopped in Puerto Madryn.   We learned from the guide they are connected to the braking and fuel systems.   If a tire goes flat or the bus has an accident, they will somehow engage the brakes and cut the fuel supply to reduce the risk of fire.
