The bus description is exactly how everyone drives, bus drivers and taxis. That sharm road is very dangerous not because its a bad road but because of very bad drivers.
As for the checkpoints, taxis get stopped as well as buses. Make sure you have a passport on you.

People were doing some Praying at the bus station before we set off. I bet they were asking that the "£$%ing bus didn't crash.
Now I'm a commited ATHIEST. but if I had known what a scary ride we were in for, I might have joined them. ----- No not really.

hahahahhahhaha. Hillmorton Scubie what a post lmfao
well, made it to dahab and back home, sadly volcano didn't strand me in dahab(very very nearly did)
was a bit messy at the airport, i ended up drinking a bottle of jd on the plane so was well wankered through the airport to the point where my friend had to carry me through. he has not got a clue what to do as never been further than a sunny blackpool before and is devoid of initiative so understandably he was having a ring twitching experience. he slumped me on the bags outside the airport, come back and told me he'd arranged a good deal with a taxi for 800LE. this sobered me up as my money is part of my body and i'd rather keep it that way.
ended up in a sea of taxi drivers haggling, this went on for a while, 1 was down to 200+LE, i was still having none of it until 1 said he'd take me for free(oh yes indeed my hairy bum - my favorite word, which has a different meaning in egypt), i kept asking him how much and he just said no charge come with me(may just be off the plane pal, but not daft), this went on a bit longer with the other drivers still haggling and he shown me a txt message with my name on. wooo hoooo, my transfer. he got a big hug, but wouldn't drink any jd.
the laid back dive centre who i dive with had only just read my email an hour beforehand
