HCMC traffic


This is a pretty typical intersection in Ho Chi Minh City. Lots of motorbikes and definitely no waiting to make a left hand turn. Watch closely toward the end of the video and you'll see a woman pass from right to left with her small child in front of her on the motorbike. This is an extremely common scene in this region of the world. We've seen multiple small kids on motorbikes with their parents. We've also seen up to 6 people on a motorbike at the same time. At least most people here are wearing helmets. In Laos and Cambodia, helmets were not so common.
