Don&#39;t mess with trucks/buses, they&#39;re pretty much all reckless<br /> 2. Drive slowly (in town it&#39;s pretty rare to go beyond 20-30km/h)<br /> 3. the &#39;tonnage rule&#39;: the heaviest vehicle always has got the priority (even if it doesn&#39;t respect the basic traffic rules). Buses &gt; trucks &gt; cars &gt; motorbikes &gt; bicycles &gt; pedestrians.<br /> 4. when you&#39;re a pedestrian, you will find that it&#39;s impossible to wait for the flow to stop, as it will never happen.. So you just have to cross with a steady pace, and the bikes will avoid you (kind of like sand through your fingers!).Jérômehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04736542392100780231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385956309016613272.post-68697263615831252552009-04-25T12:19:00.000+07:002009-04-25T12:19:00.000+07:00I agree with Mimi - amazing video...I am stunned!

Are there accidents?carahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12787018321269238581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4385956309016613272.post-52370369161030724342009-04-25T12:10:00.000+07:002009-04-25T12:10:00.000+07:00The video is amazing! When you are the one in the middle of the roundabout, crossing the street, you do not realize that it could actually seem poetic from afar. Have you been to Cambodia yet? It's funny how crossing the street there is as chaotic as here in VN, yet the "rules" are slightly different!Mimihttp://www.deparisoudailleurs.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
