Vietnam - Motorcycle Madness









Ho Chi Minh City has some seriously crazy traffic, and a lot of it is due to the motorcycles which are everywhere.  Combined with everyone's complete disregard for traffic laws (which side of the road one is to drive on, the concept of lanes, stop lights, whether one should drive on the sidewalk or not, whether the right of way goes to who is legally entitled (or whether it goes to whoever is bigger or whoever got there first)), it is truly madness.  

Most of the time I just sit in awe at the spectacle, but I shook myself to my senses last time I was there long enough to take just a couple pictures, which don't really do justice to the insanity.
