There are many conversations about road traffic in the countries of Southeast Asia. Of course, because the Europeans is the most movement at first seeing a solid chaos and asophony of sounds than and turns into shock. But in fact, not everything is so scary, as it seems at first glance. And at the end of the article, we will consider the basic rules of the Vietnamese movement.

Transport

The most common type of transport in Vietnam - Motobike. The main reason for this is the availability of this vehicle. The fact is that in the country the tax purchase tax is 100% of the cost. That is, the price of the car automatically doubles plus another annual tax and a rather value of gasoline ... to afford even a small car can only a wealthy person. Here, most of the Vietnamese ride on various two-wheeled products - motorbikes, motorcycles, scooters, bicycles, electric devices ...

But how to go! Vietnamese manage even large loads on their motorbikes. He drives himself, taxes with one hand, and the second refrigerator holds behind his back, so as not to fall ... or one taxis, and the second holds an armature of 5 meters long or an iron staircase ... Every day we watched such pictures and were wondering how they manage to keep the balance, Do not drop anything and do not hurt anyone.

In addition to the ubiquitous two-wheeled funds on the road there are buses and, of course, cars, most often Japanese or Korean production. They say, in recent years, cars on the roads of Vietnam became significantly more. Is the welfare of Vietnamese?

Honda, Kia and Toiota autocentrers were seen in the city. On indirect signs should also be Hyundai, but he did not come across our eyes.

And, of course, these autocentrats specialize in the bikes.

In the tourist cities, on the street you can meet a velaikhu, which calls tourists to ride to the hotel or to Nam-Nam. But be careful - many velaiks first call one price, and when the time of reckoning comes, it suddenly grows at times, because it turns out that you drove a lot more than this amount ...

Streets and intersections

The road traffic in Vietnam is right-sided, since initially it was introduced by the French at the time of colonization.

At ordinary crossroads of two roads, it is usually a stone stand with arrows, which is necessary to drive around when turning. In the conditions of a large number of motor transport, this is a very healthy idea so that no one tries to cut an angle, thereby creating a transport chaos.

But since the streets in Nha Trang are not all parallel and perpendicular, the intersection of such roads is circular. In the center of such intersections - mandatory flowering flower bed, in the middle of which there is some elegant design, often glowing at night.

This is how pointers of directions in front of a similar intersection look like. At first it seems incomprehensible, but if you already have a little orient oriented in the city, then everything falls into place.

But this intersection will be more comprehensive. But, too, everything is clear: to the left to the beach, directly and rightly the KsS member market (Xom Moi), to the right and back the train station ...

And what does the triangle look like an intersection from the sign above? Like this: a beautiful well-kept mini park, stone tracks with benches, in the middle of the fountain (who, however, never worked on our memory) ... not to say that it was right an oasis in a dusty city, because the rainy greens and flowers grow everywhere, But still get into such a place, just moving the road, very nice.

Periodically come across large gas stations. The cost of gasoline in Vietnam at the time of our visit (September 2015) was 20-30 thousand dongs, it approximately $ 1-1.5 per liter.

Near some stores, the road can be found a standing plastic bottle. At first we were perplexed - why is it? It turned out that in these stores you can buy gasoline if you did not reach the motorbike to the petrol station (the gas tank is usually small there). Of course, the price will be higher, because this is a way of earning, but sometimes you do not have to choose.

Road signs

They meet in cities and traffic lights, but this is so rare, which is necessarily a traffic sign "Light regulation" before such an intersection.

In general, Vietnamese are very creative people. AND road signs They also have creative and sometimes funny. The most common pedestrian transition sign looks like this:

But, while we moved around the city by bus, you saw a couple more options for this sign, rather creative. An old man with a stick passed on one road, and on the other - a man in a hat and lady. Unfortunately, did not have time to take a picture. And here is the sign "Caution, Children!":

And unusual for us sign about banning on the parking of the bikes. Which, however, Vietnamese did not embarrass and directly under it stood seven two-wheeled vehicles.

Pointers of directions with distances are also a very comfortable thing. When you go on the heat and stuffiness, it is very pleasant to know that only 300 meters remained to the destination.

Sidewalks

The sidewalk in Vietnam (if it is in general) - not at all the place for pedestrians, as is customary from us. Rather, this is a place for parking bikes, for the tables of Vietnamese cafes and in general, anything. Be prepared for what, walking around the city, you will move mostly on the edge of the roadway, and not at all for sidewalks.

What did Vietnamese sidewalk taught me? First of all, look under your feet, and not to stare on the sides and upstairs! Strout several times, keep from falling, and all - already enters the habit of glance down quite often. Why? First, the hatches of Vietnamese look like this:

And these same hatches can fill with sharp iron corners or, on the contrary, being recessed into the pavement, and they are quite common. Secondly, near the set of entrances, the sidewalks goes to a decrease and an increase, but it remains laid out the same tile (no curbs) and visually it does not bother. Thirdly, right in the center of your path can suddenly grow a flowerbed with trimmed trees ...

And finally, fourthly - most trees growing on the sidewalk, are also not fenced with any borders. Simply extruded 4 paving slabs and from there The tree grows. What is noteworthy - when the tree fastens, begins to buck the roots in different directions, the Vietnamese simply remove the neighboring tiles so that the tree grew further the way he swallows. Very touching plant concern.

And how virtuoso they park cars on sidewalks! That matter, I admired the car parked exactly between two trees or pillars. Not that it was absolutely impossible ... Just with my unusual side, it requires a multitude of "televitations" and Erzanya there. Unfortunately, I have never happened to watch the process of similar parking, but I am sure that they do it quickly and without excessive fuss, the matter is usual.

At the intersections there are blue signs with the name of the street, so you have a hiking tourist, to get lost in the city almost unreal. Here is the name of the street on which we lived:

However, even if you did not find a sign indicating the street, on all stores and cafes called there is always the address of this institution.

Basic rules of movement

I do not put here the task to teach you the rules of Vietnamese movement. I just want to note the features of the movement on the roads, which are just frightening the inexperienced pedestrian or driver.

1. Vietnam is allowed to ride only in Vietnamese Rights. International laws here do not mean anything. But in fact, tourists easily take the bikes for rent and drive at all without rights. If you do not violate the rules and speed mode, we are going in the helmet and dressed (naked knees insult the feelings of the local police, keep in mind), then, most likely, you will not stop you. And if you stop - a standard penalty for the bike control without right - $ 50, plus a confiscation of a bike to a free parking lot.

2. The main thing in the Vietnamese car or the bike is a beep. Turn everything and everything. At first glance it seems that they will signal about and without, but it is not quite so. Typically, before performing a maneuver (rebuilding, overtaking, turn), as if speaking - hey, keep in mind, I turn here. Or - Dude, do not twitch, I overtook you.

3. Another rule - who is more, that rights. King Roads - Bus. He is never inferior to anyone. It took - turned. And do not care that (as it seems to us) I had to skip the opposite. Sound only.

4. By the head of the counter movement you can ride At a distance of meters from the sidewalk or the edge of the road. That is, Vietnamese drove his turn. Wrapped, it happens. Well, what is he now, before the intersection go and unfold? And then until the next intersection and turn out again to get into the right place ... And he has a cargo of fresh fish, for example, which you need to get urgently ... In this case, it goes on the opposite of the road. I drove, I gave the cargo, went to deliver further. Good everyone.

5. Look forward! Vietnamese can be rebuilt and maneuvers, without looking at the rearview mirror (which can not be on the bike in general). Everyone looks only forward to instantly react to the rebuildings of those who are in front of you. And if an accident occurs, one of whom the "muzzle" is groomed. Because on the sides yawn and did not see that someone appeared in front of him.

6. Around the city all go at a speed of about 30 km / h With permitted 60 km / h. The fact is that this at such a speed, even at the accident, it is usually no fatal outcome.

7. According to Vietnamese Regulations on the bike is allowed to be two people At the same time. At the same time, children for people are not considered, so you can often see two Vietnamese and three children on one bike. And sometimes 4-5 adults rides. We have seen a maximum of four, but the experienceds watched and eight people on one bike.

Conclusion: Look ahead, drive 30 km / h, skip everyone who is more and a signal before maneuver. And you will be the happiness of Vietnamese roads!

How to move the road in Vietnam

The Vietnamese themselves about the transition of the road will not soar and do it where it is convenient, without running in search of a pedestrian crossing. Because in fact there is no difference.

When we first approached the pedestrian crossing on a wide street, it seemed to us that I was actually impossible to go here. After reading in advance articles on the ways of moving the road in the countries of South, we decided. Raised the hand up and slowly walked forward, stumbling at the form of the next "carriage" on us Motobike ... and found themselves on the other side.

The next day we were convinced that the hand could not be raised, to go much faster, and in general that not everything is so scary as it seemed for the first time. And a week later, when we do not think about the circular crossroads almost diagonally, we understood with a laugh that was finally mastered.

So how do you go through the road in Vietnam? Yes, it's very simple: we skip cars and buses, as they will not be able to quickly go around. Before the start of the movement, we look at both directions, because we remember that the counter movement is possible near the sidewalk. And go out on the road, looking left on the traffic strip. Correct your speed depending on what we see there. If you see that the bike riding on you accelerated, then he is going to slip in front of you, and slow down a step. Or you see that the bikes begin to take a little to the side to go around. In general, we act in circumstances! And you do not need to be afraid and get up post. The pedestrian should be predictable, then nothing terrible will not happen, because we remember that the Vietnamese looks preferably ahead and you will be noticeable.

Good luck on the roads!

Motion in Vietnam

In Vietnam for road They are characterized by their unusual laws who know and not even understand all the Vietnamese. One of the features of Vietnam is a huge number of mopeds, bicycles and motorcycles.

Vietnamese prefer to move through these vehicles due to the high cost of cars that are subject to a huge duty in 200%. Moreover, after an hour of stay in Vietnam, you realize that this is a city in which, even having a car, not everyone will move on it.

Most important vehicle Vietnam is a moped, without which no local resident can present his life. Thus, the passage of the cities are filled with thousands of mopeds and only a small amount expensive carswho are like turtles, do not hurry and carefully.

Tourists Vietnam affects very interesting and fun moments. everyday life, for example, how Vietnamese adapted to transport not only different animals on their small vehicles (chickens, ducklings, pigs), but also building materials, furniture of huge sizes, household appliances and much more.

Most tourists who have just arrived in the country shocks and scares the fact that the locals completely neglect the rules of the road. Formally, they exist in Vietnam, but on the roads, unfortunately, no one is respected. In multiple-depleted cities, endless threads of mopeds rush, not noticing not signals of traffic lights, no road signs, nor Zebras for pedestrians. Sometimes, of course, very fast drivers are still punished with a fine for speeding or non-compliance with the rules. But these are very insignificant fines that drivers are not particularly learning. Therefore, it is not surprised if you see the Vietnamese on a moped, which not only leaves the head of the oncoming movement and crosses the road through two solid lines, but also turns to the left of the extreme right strip. All this is quite natural - he is in a hurry!

It is also important that the fact that the Vietnamese practically uses the rearview mirrors at all, even in the case of rebuilding to another line. Therefore, if you notice only one mirror on the moped, do not be surprised, because some mopeds cannot "boast" and that.

Mobile on a motorcycle or scooter in Vietnam requires certain skills and knowledge of the peculiarities of the rules of the road (traffic rules) in this country. Many people write that there is no rules in Vietnam, you just need to go carefully. I can not agree with their arguments, I can confidently say that there is rules! Yes, the rules are somewhat different from ours, and just as with us, Vietnamese can violate these rules. Nevertheless, most of the participants in the movement, the rules are observing.

I can not guarantee that everything described by me is official traffic rules Vietnam, but I can guarantee that the real situation on the road is subject to the laws described in this article. Agree, the situation has more practical benefits.

Location of vehicles in Vietnam

The conditions of movement in Vietnam are somewhat different and characterized by a huge number of two-wheeled vehicles: motorcycles, scooters, bicycles, therefore, there are highlighted zones for the movement of these vehicles. Instead of our side of the sideline, in Vietnam, the curb is always asphalt or concrete. This is the asphalt roads and is intended for two-wheeled vehicles. In the figure, I depicted the location of vehicles on the track:

Photos of the Road on the Quinen - Nha Trang

Is it possible to go to the traffic strip for cars? It is possible that it is not prohibited, but you are preferential right when moving on this strip have cars. This means that in the case of what, you will need to quickly rebuilt on your lane. Usually such a case occurs when it is evicted on this band.

For example, you eat through the strip for cars, and to meet you a truck dragging, and for a bus service (the bus wants to overtake the truck). And be sure the bus will go to overtake in the opposite, having left for your lane, and you need a quick thing from this band somewhere, because The bus will fly to you towards.

Therefore, very carefully moving around the strip for cars, and constantly control the opportunity to cuddle to the right. With your experience, you will learn to understand when the bus can be departed towards you. Pay attention to road covering On the right strip, there may be sand or dry rice

Everything described above concerns movement on the roads outside of cities, in cities the movement of the motor transport is carried out in all the lanes of the movement, and there may be up to 5 to each side.

In Vietnam, right-hand movement is familiar to us, but if for us the movement on the oncoming lane is something out of a series of outgoing, we can not even imagine that someone will go to visit us on the sidelines, then in Vietnam this is a normal practice.

Vietnamese was driving, I drove the store, and suddenly I remembered that the wife asked to buy bread. Why move to the other side of the road when you can just go back on the side of the road.

Often you will meet someone to go, pressing to the sideline, you will need to shift to the center of the road. Those who are going to meet, go carefully and missed everyone, but you need to consider such a manner of movement.

Everything described above concerns movement on the roads outside of cities, in large cities the movement of the motor transport is carried out in all the lanes of the movement, there may be 5 to each side.

Priorities of vehicles on the roads of Vietnam

The most "cool" buses on the roads of Vietnam, they rush at a huge speed on the left strip, constantly signal, overtake on the oncoming lane, and in general, behave extremely aggressively. All buses are inferior. Be extremely attentive with them.

The most predictable ones on the roads of Vietnam - truckers on the long periods, as a rule, they ride with a constant speed, with rebuildings always include turn signals, all movements smooth and measured. On unregulated intersections, the long periods always have an advantage over the motorcycle, all motorcyclists slow down and skip the wagon.

The most reckless - small trucks such as our zilov 130x, from them you can wait for anything, they can rebuild, unfold, stop and leave the alleys completely unexpected for you. Our gazellers always go according to the rules in comparison with these comrades.

Ordinary cars in Vietnam are not strongly allocated, as a rule, it is predictable, they don't climb much anywhere, once again Do not risk overtake on the oncoming lane. Although exceptions are.

Motorcycles, scooters and bicycles - let's say straight, two-wheeled vehicles have a much smaller priority to four-wheeled. And by and large, their task is to do so as not to interfere with four-wheeled. Pay attention - no one will give up to the cyclist, it happens exactly the opposite.

People on the roads of Vietnam - lower creatures, no one will miss you, about pedestrian crossings Also forget. But it is not accepted to crush pedestrians, so pedestrians go through the road where it fell, and the transport circles them like water flows around a stone in the river. Often the only way Go across the road just step into the street, then a uniform step (predictable) just go through the road.

Rules of travel Perekrestkov

It is easy to move right away, it is enough to control the motorcycle and you quickly get used to the dense movement of Vietnam. Difficulties arise with the passage of intersections, understand when to go, and when to stand - sometimes it is difficult.

If the intersection is equipped with a traffic light, then you can say lucky: on green we are going, on red stand. But we take into account two possible features Crossroads:

The first feature is often the intersection is equipped with a sign that allows you to turn right to the red light, of course, skipping those who are going on green. Look for an appropriate sign next to the green (this is either a green arrow - then everything can go, either an additional traffic light with a motorcyclist, which allows you to go right to go only by motorcyclists).

The second feature - it often happens that on lively areas before the start of movement in the forward direction, traffic participants allow you to first turn left to those who need it. It seems that it is not regulated by anything, but we have not previously watched such a picture - pay attention to the drawing.

If the intersection is not equipped with a traffic light and there are no priority signs, and in Vietnam they are almost always absent, then safely intersection is driving as follows:

1. We skip the lengths (wagons), they are hard in Vietnam, it is necessary to give up;
2. We try to get into a large stream of transport, or award to some kind of group of Vietnamese. The bottom line is that the intersection moves with groups if you are alone - no one will miss you, and if you have a group of more than from another direction, then you will miss your group. Hence the rule: which part of the people have accumulated more than the people - those who are less inferior.

Similarly, sites and sections with circular motion, wait until your direction will meet more motorcycles And moving along with the group - then you will be allowed. According to personal sensations, plots with a circular motion are the most complex and incomprehensible in terms of priorities.

The main rule is be predictable for other participants in the movement, move smoothly, but persistently.

Speed \u200b\u200bmode in Vietnam

In Vietnam, it is not quickly driving: the following speed mode is set for motorcycles:

• within the city - 40 km / h
• outside the city - 60 km / h
• a permissible limit without a fine - 5 km / h

In general, I would recommend to comply with the speed mode, the conditions of movement are complex. In addition, often on the right, someone travels across the road, thinking that you are moving 40 km / h and you have time to slow down, and in fact you fly under 70 and to slow down your capabilities. A couple of such cases and all the desire to drive in the city disappears. So do not exceed the sake of your security.

What else do you need to know

Nor Russian nor international rights in Vietnam are not recognized. Of course, local rights you do not have. But if you keep the rest of the rules, the police will only be ashamed and wish good luck. We have never stopped, but welcomed at each post. In the extreme case, the amount of bribes will say.

In Vietnam, you can ride only in the helmet, you will stop at the first post without a helmet.

Just in case, public fines table:

• Riding without a helmet - from 100,000 to 200,000 dong
• Riding without rights - from 800,000 to 1 200,000 dong
• Riding without Tempat or no numbers - from 300,000 to 400,000 dong
• Excess speed of 5 km / h - from 100,000 to 200,000 dong
• Excess speed of 10 km / h - from 500,000 to 1 million dong
• Excess speed by 20 or more km / h - from 2 to 3 million dong

Conclusion

Well, probably all the rules of movement on the roads of Vietnam. In fact, nothing complicated in them, the main thing is to understand that they are others. After a couple of days of the train, you are comfortable, and you will begin to understand the situation on the road is not worse than local.

If you have some other questions left - ask in the comments.

If you decide to ride Vietnam from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, then my article about this journey

P.S. Many thanks to the creators of the road editor of the autocadab, with his help I was able to visualize road situations.

I want to tell a little about road traffic in Vietnam

At first in Vietnam were the French. The movement was declared by right-hand. On this all educational driver's culture was completed.
The people were poor, the bike was luxury.
Then the Americans came. From this place more.

Wragged by Vakhatalia, who reigned on the roads, the American administration allocated a dozen motorcycle with wheelchairs that were running around the city.
The carriage was sitting in the carriage, in his hands, which had a bamboo stick, wrapped with rags (no animals).
As soon as the fighter noticed the cyclist traveling along the oncoming lane, he applied a quick blow to the last bamboo stick in the face, simultaneously knocking down the intruder with the Great.

This method of guiding order had an action and the Vietnamese began to ride respecting the county. However, as we know, America lost war.
Maybe one of the reasons for this defeat was their perseverance in the guidance of order.

After the war, everything returned to the circles: each traveled, who is what is much. It came to the point that the then the leadership of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam appealed for help to the then leadership of the USSR. And now, one day, our Soviet traffic cops appeared on the streets of Ho Chi Mina.
We studied the features of local brains and orders. They decided to make movement on parts of Ho Chi Mini unilateral streets.
Made.
Vietnamese traveled down the street in accordance with the sign ... And in the sidewalks in the opposite direction.
Our traffic cops grabbed the head and offered to adopt the law on administrative penalties and fines for violating the rules of the road.
What followed a fair answer: "That power that will take these laws will not last long."
That's how it was left as it was

But, the arrival of our traffic cops was not in vain.
Some experience was transferred.
For example, from an ambush with a radar on direct smooth areas of the road outside the city, where for some reason a restrictive sign is 40 km / h.
Well, the solution of issues "without receipt" and savings kiss "...

It is noticed: where a traffic jam from buzzing motorbikes is going, Ricks and cars - there is a traffic cop / Adjustable.
Without them, somehow everything is absorbed by itself. At the level of instinct.

Worst of all drivers of passenger cars.
Private.
He is always to blame.
And it does not matter that that motorbikeker, just before the nose, I decided to turn around from the right-hand row.
He (Motobikeker) is poor, he has no money for the treatment and repair of his Motobike.
And you are rich, you have personal car. You and pay.

This is a system of socialism in action.

By the way, after each accident around the crowd, which decides who is right, and whom to pay.
So that Vietnamese traffic cops ride dissemble only if the case ends with a fatal outcome.
So increasingly decides on domestic ... but without a frobo one.

What else to say about the road movement in Ho Chi Mine and the surrounding area?
The main thing in the car beep. If the beep breaks, the driver ignites the alarm, takes to the right and until it replaced - it will not go.
Well, and also briefly about the road movement: this is a crazy house.
I, having driving experience since 86 years old (and driving experience from 11 years old) did not risk in Ho Shi Mine would even go beyond the garage

In Vietnam, irritation and nerves are our faithful companions every day. And not only every day, and every time you go out into the street. Not even so. Every minute you burn on one nervous cell due to the fact that it does not stop and do nothing it is impossible. Movement in Vietnam, and not only in Ho Chi Minh City, but also in Nha Trang, it simply cannot but take out. It is not enough that chaos reigns on the roads, so in this whole chaos, you somehow should remain unharmed. We already live in Vietnam for a month and still cannot get used to it.

6 points that weighed us on the roads of Vietnam:

1. Permanent traffic

Vietnam does not stop for a second. Everywhere and everywhere go mopeds. Where do you not turn your head, you will see the bikes there.

As Gides say on excursions - if all Vietnam moved to cars, then a lifelong traffic jam would have been formed. I think in these words there is truth, but it does not become easier. Especially if you are a pedestrian and do not use this vehicle. Therefore, just the presence of an endless flow of motorbikes is very dripping on the nerves.

2. Noise on the street

Vietnam is not a quiet country. Motorcycles and buses on the roads are not only noisy by their motors, but also without silence. Such a feeling that they do not even clean your hand from Classone to signal without stopping. Moreover, the signals are distributed not only towards passers-by, they will signal both each other and rare cars, and those in response bibi themselves. Such is a strange communication from Vietnamese drivers.

The other day we witnessed a funny situation, walked down the street, and overhead was overlapped on the move, as the train was approaching. There are no automatic barriers here, the road is overlapped by manually.

Railway moving in Vietnam

Funny Vietnamese drivers in the last seconds try to drive, despite the impending train

When the barrier finally managed to close, suddenly came silence. It was so unusual and so good that it was impossible not to notice. As soon as the train passed and began to open a barrier, motorbike drivers instantly rushed from the spot and again the noise, dust and chaos reigned on the street.

Fragous impatient Vietnamese in the painful waiting, when you can already start the motor and go

3. Move the road in Vietnam is not a simple matter

Where to book transfer from the airport?

We use the service - Kiwitaxi.
Ordered a taxi online, paid for the card. At the airport, they met with a sign with our last name. Brought the hotel on a comfortable car. About your experience already told in this article

When we first got into a solid flow of motorbikes, we did not understand how to merge with this stream and how to go through the road so to stay alive. Motorcycles are going at the same time in all directions.

It happened that on the transition of two roads we left for 15 minutes. Now we have already more less and realized that the main rule for a pedestrian is to be obvious and predictable for the driver Motobike. Slowly and confidently move and in no case stop the middle of the road to skip the driver. They do not understand such stops and begin to twist their steering wheel in different directions, a perplexed job you stopped, and not you go further. We still learn from the passers-by Vietnamese rapid road transition.

The road transport in traffic jams is the most dangerous. Even if there is a traffic light or an adjustor, help from it do not wait

Drivers go here mainly no faster than 40 km per hour, but the flow is so dense and unpredictable that every road transport is torture and nerves. Often because of this, even you have to search for ways to bypass, just not to move the road.

Look a short video from the usual street in Ho Chi Minh City:

4. Vietnamese drivers to the light bulb on the pedestrian zebra and traffic lights

Apparently, they do not even know what she is. Probably think for beauty. In most cases, what is there, in all cases, get up on zebra and move the way in it meaningless. Vietnamese, as they drove, will go. Their zebra does not confuse. These are we, civilized people, already in the habit you still get on it and go to this Biker hell, knowing that it does not contribute to us. Therefore, there are no transitions on the roads. On traffic lights just do not pay attention. Even if the main flow stood up, there will always be a dozen tanks that will go to red. Therefore, when moving on the traffic light, you should always look at the road. Moreover, both sides, because the Vietnamese can safely go on the counter.

5. On the bikes are freely visited by sidewalks

Only we were pleased that there are sidewalks in Vietnam and sometimes even wide, as disappointment did not make himself wait. These insatiable motorbikers occupied not only roads, but also pedestrian zones. Everywhere the sidewalks are forced by bikes. Tourists, at best, it remains to navigate the remnants that are still free or on the side of the road. But in the remaining pieces, too, not everything calmly, they often drive mopeds and nervously sign up to you to inferior to them.

On the sidewalk, like on the highway

Vietnamese quietly visit the sidewalks without any respect and inhale rods on you, showing your superiority. It seems that pedestrians do not consider people in Vietnam. Therefore, if you are on the sidewalk, or rather on Tom Kloch, that it remains from him, then do not relax. And here you are pressed and do not give normally.

The exception is only the central streets and the embankment. In many alleys and non-unistricted neighborhoods and smoking roads, there are no sidewalks. So you go on the side of the road, evading the bikes.

Vietnamese are so lazy that they even ride the market on the bikes. I won't be surprised if they sleep with their mopeds in an embrace.

Mopeds in the market

6. Inattention drivers and their arrogance

This circumstance sometimes even forces us not to leave the house without need and go somewhere for long distances. Probably Vietnamese drivers are the most bad drivers in the world.

For Vietnamese bike is not a luxury, but a means of movement, bed, dining table and generally the second house

They fly out of Zakulkov, even not looking, whether there is a person there. They go straight on you, even if you see you in both eyes. They are not inferior to the road and are ready to move your legs, but not to stop. I hate them with all my good soul. They are so stupid that, going out on the street, I am a worry so much how many mats are.

Unbearable every second to keep yourself ready and look around, so that you are not distorted. About the walking step and inspection of the city on the streets of Vietnam you can easily forget. Test, nerves, mat and irritation every day. Here the most infertion and most disrescript attitude towards pedestrians, which we happened to see for. Even in Goa Tuk-Tukers and motorbikers were 100 times more indulgent and missed people, and did not go straight on them with a position "I don't care about you, a miserable pedestrian."

That's it, Vietnamese traffic on the roads. And if you have children, then your nerves will be at the limit even more than we. I just can not imagine how to go such a street with a carriage.
