What is remarkable is not just the volume of traffic but the way it moves.

Vietnamese drive on the right side of the road — that is to say, most of the time.

At other times, they cross over and drive on the opposite side of the road right into the face of oncoming traffic in order to pass people who are slower. It is not unusual for a passenger to look up and see a large truck bearing down on him.

Vietnamese drivers seem to possess a sixth sense that enables them to tuck back into the flow of vehicles at the last possible moment. They are helped in this by what might be called creative use of the horn.

It is impossible to drive in Vietnam without honking the horn. Drivers of cars and trucks do it constantly. They come up right behind the person they wish to pass and start honking away until the other driver moves over.

Other than what have described above, they use motorcycles to carry almost anything one can think of, you name it; refrigerator, chair, fabrics, etc etc. Below you can pictures I took as proofs of what I’ve said.

There’s a must see place if you visit Vietnam, it is called Ha Long Bay, please have a look here.
