Crazy Drivers

The driving in Vietnam is just nuts.

It appears the larger the vehicle the more right of way you have on either side of the road. They just overtake - no matter what is coming from the other direction, just honk the horn and expect them to get out of the way. Seriously, I can't believe it. I saw a motor bike swearve almost into a shop and numerous times onto pavements.

And crossing the road. Ha. Take a deep breath, glance at the oncoming traffic, then proceed slowly across the road as the motorbikes sweep around you left and right. DO NOT run... or attempt to dodge them. When you get to the otherside take a deep breath and go for a stiff drink.
