Rules of the road in Vietnam

Things here are quite different, when it comes to driving. Given that the roads are shared by people, bikes, motorbikes, cars and trucks, it can seem a bit chaotic… but it seems to be quite stable, and people get where they are going - provided they follow the rules of the road:

  1. Use the horn to let people know you’re about to hit them
  2. Never stop, unless there is a stop light (very rare)
  3. Don’t hit anyone, and they won’t hit you

That pretty much sums it up. When I get back to Ho Chi Minh City, I’ll be posting some videos of random intersections - it’s really quite something. I’d certainly never want to rent a car or bike here… it’s dangerous enough being a pedestrian!
