A perfect illustration of how bad traffic gets in Viet Nam

Vietnam is famous for its crazy traffic, where the traffic jams can get ridiculous. The traffic is so bad there that if you waited for a clear gap to comfortably cross a main road, you would probably be waiting there all day.

You just have to trust that all of the motorbikes will zoom around you. The real key is to not stop and just keep walking across the road.

There are traffic lights in the cities, however a lot of motorbikes seem to ignore them, and roundaboats and uncontrolled intersections are simply crazy. Everyone pretty much collides into a jumbled mess while beeping their horns and eventually pushing through. Aggressive is the only driving style that works.
