Looking through some of my older stuff on vietnam-now.com and found this piece on motorbike traffic and though you might enjoy it. Think it was written about 10 years ago but traffic hasn't changed all that much, other than we have much more, traffic that is. About twice the number of motorbikes and what really complicates things the is the increase in the number of cars trucks and buses.

Side bar: In 2011 3.671 motorbikes were registered in Vietnam - compared to 2012 at 3.282 million, and 2013 at 3.272 million. So the numbers of registered motorbikes are declining but still is one hell of a lot of motorbikes and on the horizon auto sales are set to pick up.. All this on unimproved roads originally built for bicycles and ox carts.
