You can talk about the turn left by scooter, in Vietnam there are different rules on the road

I'm so surprised you would say the international license isn't needed. I researched a lot before spending a month in Vietnam riding from north to south. As expected, I was stopped by the cops on the Ha Giang Loop and they specifically based the 2 million dong fine on the fact that my international license did not have the motorbike endorsement.

I'm saying for renting in the big cities. And yes the Ha Giang loop will be checked. You can see my vlog on that trip.

@@heavensplayer Ohhhh. I think you're implying I shouldn't have paid it. Hehe. I think you're right! When I get pulled over a second time, I just told him that I already was fined 2 million and his friendly expression dropped as he waved me on with no further attempt to extort.

How would i get a motocyle lisence? in vietnam

@ChasingtheSunVlog Ай бұрын

I'm not sure. I usually come with my own international driver's license. You have to get this from your home country before you leave.

Hi, do you know if there is any law prohibiting mounting the phone on the bike as GPS navigator? I was stopped last week during a roadcheck 1 night along QL1A from Tan An to Saigon and as I have a valid VN license and was riding way below speed limit, the traffic cop proceeded to ask for 1 million for "illegal use of phone mounted on the bike as GPS navigator" which I paid and when he did not give me a receipt and I realized I had been ripped off. What would be your advice on how to deal with the police when we clearly have not broken any law? Stall and wait? I will be riding along that road regularly and have a feeling I will meet that cop again and I recognize him. Can I get my money back when he pulls the same trick again next time?

@ChasingtheSunVlog 11 ай бұрын

I doubt you can get your money back. He's obviously corrupt if there is no receipt, but that's nothing surprising in Vietnam. You can try to stall and pretend you don't understand and hopefully he goes after someone else, but if he recognizes you and knows he been successful once, then that may not work. I don't believe there's anything against using GPS. I see locals using the phones all the time.

@@ChasingtheSunVlog Thanks, I will remember him for life and if i ever meet him again and he tried the same trick again, i will not pay but instead ask to go back to the station with him.

I heard in Vietnam the bigger the vehicle the more respect which sounds dangerous

@ChasingtheSunVlog 2 ай бұрын

Yes. It actually makes sense to me because the bigger the vehicle, the slower they are you stop and manuever so it's best to watch out for those guys from a safety perspective. It's so different than in north america where pedestrians will just walk anywhere without really looking first.

I live in VietNam. Don't bribe Cops: ALL VEHICLES are EQUAL using the French Priorite A'doit system. Car drivers treasure their cars and avoid getting hit by motorcycles. Vietnamese are the most skilled bad drivers but Cops expect Foreigners to drive properly. ALWAYS USE A VIDEO CAMERA.

Great tips! Can you tell us more by what you mean "all vehicles are equal"?
