And although I've never been to Hanoi I am pretty sure not much has changed. Yeah sure the government has done something about it, but get serious, there's nothing we can do. We've set up rules for only having two in a family, but we can't just reduce the number of people. We can't "shoo" people away from their houses and make the streets bigger. Vietnam is awesome. I would know because I've been here since I was born. I'm Vietnamese. The government isn't the best in the world, but they've done something. We are the slowest developing country in the world, but we've done a great job. Shut up people. I'm a Vietnamese, and it's awesome being it. There might be some issues. I know a lot of people die because of traffic, but that's because those idiots on the roads didn't know HOW to think. It's not generally all Vietnamese. Adding to that, Vietnam isn't the only country that has traffic problems. Ho Chi Minh is still exactly the way it is. And although I’ve never been to Hanoi I am pretty sure not much has changed.

Things have changed so much in Vietnam and i aprreciated tourists and westerners who don't mind spent time and money to contribute to vietnam or even just a comment. Being Vietnamese, I think we want to stand on our own feet and I dont want to be like singapore or american. We are have thousand of years of great history and that what we should proud of. Think about what you should say and be respect to other readers Mr Cong. Thanks to the author very much for a very interesting article. I agree with Thanh.

Believe or not, this is a typical case of a "paid web user" to go online finding whatever complaint about her dipshit government and say something completely opposite the real situation that happens in Vietnam, just because the government pays her to do so.

Even Malaysia, people obey traffic law every where. In my opinion, the administration is very strict and honest. Vietnam police keen on money not the job. That evil some my friend from different country told me they know. I have been many country, but nowhere like Vietnam. Even Malaysia, people obey traffic law every where.

Since then the helmet law was passed in Vietnam and is being enforced. Panoramic highways have been created to help with traffic. Television programs are aired to increase traffic safety awareness and the number of people dying from head injuries has dramatically been reduced. I give Vietnam an "A" grade and applaud its efforts. I hope this long running post will continue. It covers an important subject. Tu Van Cong started this post on April 11th 2006.

I do bileive in young generation in general, but not all. From the north to the south of our country, many student in school and university lazy around. So that, I think what Jennie Dinh thought is unfounded optimism. Because nothing change without dynamic. I am 50 years old, a teacher for nearly 30 years.

I am glad you are keeping this conversation alive. It is an important one. So far I have not received a traffic ticket since the one I received last year in Binh Thuan Province. I do have a radar detector, but I use it only to remind me to obey the speed laws here, especially because I am a visitor and want to leave a good impression. Believe it or not, things seem better here. Especially in Phan Thiet where I live half of each year. We have more elecrtric traffic signals and the police do monitor for violators. If you desire you can visit my blog about Vietnam at: http://maigreenevietnam.blogspot.com I look forward to your comments. See you next time.

If they increase the tickets for the drivers what are making and extra lane which is ussually causing the big screwup and also for the drivers driving through red. The police can earn more during traffic, which is ussually coffee or dinner time for them. I think the government can fix for a big part the traffic problem.
