Looks like Deal's Gap.  | ||

Looks like their lights work a little differently. Instead of a red, yellow and a green, they just have 1 light that means good luck, go for it. | ||

Are there any big bikes in this video. I didn't see anything over a scooter. =/ | ||

Everything runs at bicycle pace. | ||
| Whatever |
It is that way in many parts of the world. That reminds me of a cool trick I learned in Nairobi: Always cross the street with a native between you and oncoming traffic. Call them a "decoy", that way you have a little time to run if the person gets hit, cause they do not stop for pedestrians in that city... ever... | ||

There's a big difference between that intersection and one of ours. Over there, everyone know that "that is just the way it's done". Over here, in the land of attitude and [road] rage, ain't nobody gonna give an inch, "just cuz"... | ||

I spent some time in Thailand last year, with similar traffic in places. There are some big bikes, but they're rare. | ||

I went to Vietnam last X-mas for vacation (not that nice)...it wasn't uncommon to see 4, even 5 people on a scooter. Dad driving with a kid between his legs. Mom behind dad. Two kids on the very end of the seat sitting back to back. The whole week I was there I didn't see a single accident though. | ||

Rode from Hanoi to the chinese border in July via the mountains around Sapa. Great fun. Traffic in Hanoi and Saigon is like riding a track day in slo-mo! | ||

"are there any big bikes in that video?"When I was in Vietnam in the early 70's, the police had Green Sportsters there in Saigon. I always thought it would be cool to find one and buy it now days. | ||

Hilarious listening to them 'take off' after the second big wave from the left came in. Alot like go carts pulling out from under the staging area. | ||

Gohot - i've been going to Saigon since 2000, have never seen a hd there. must of got used up by now. saw a '68 mustang on a side street in '01 or '02, and a couple IL4s this past spring though.... hard to go fast in hcmc - too much traffic and too many cops. traffic is like the vid all over hcmc, interesting driving really good food there though, especially seafood.... |
