Vietnam Warnings and Dangers: 128 reviews and 72 photos

 
 

One of the most familiar sights in Vietnam is a road packed with noisy little motorbikes, often carrying whole families. They seem impervious to danger. Motorbikes, with tiny babies wedged between mother and father, weave between cars and buses and ride head on into traffic on the wrong side of the road.

Be warned, it is quite commonplace for motorbikes to turn into the wrong lane, which if you are attempting to walk across the road at the same time, can really catch you by surprise. I saw several motorbike accidents and I am told that they are the biggest cause of death amongst young people in Vietnam.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
