In Vietnam, as in the rest of Southeast Asia, you cannot be mobile without your own means of transportation. Public transport that in Vietnam it is poorly developed, and by and large it is only in major cities and tourist centers. In Nha Trang, for example, there are only a few routes to the most popular points, and in Phu Quoc there are none at all.

Being tied to a bus schedule that doesn’t run often or doesn’t run at all is, you see, inconvenient. Therefore, a motorbike (scooter, moped, motorcycle) in the hot expanses of Phu Quoc Island is the first thing. Therefore, we will look at how renting a bike on Phu Quoc works, how much it costs to rent on the island, what documents are needed to rent a bike, and what traffic rules apply in Vietnam.

How to rent a bike in Fukuoka?

In Fukuoka, it is cheaper to rent housing outside the city, closer to nature, almost in the wilderness, and without a bike it is impossible to go to the beach, market or attractions. If the trip is short, a week or two, then you can simply rent a moped from any rental company, but if you have to live for a month or more, then from the point of economic feasibility it is cheaper to buy your own. That's exactly what we did. I wrote about how to buy a moped in Fukuoka in a detailed article.

We came to Phu Quoc during the high season, and the cost of renting a scooter started at 150,000 Vietnamese dong (6.5 US dollars). Our plans were to stay on the island for at least two months, so the rental budget in the future was from 9,000,000 dong (400 dollars), and for that kind of money you can already rent a used scooter. But for short-term use, renting is suitable. Here are a few useful tips for those who will rent a motorbike in Vietnam:

Where to rent a bike in Fukuoka?

You can rent a bike anywhere, but I recommend that you first read the rental prices in a particular city. On a trip to Phu Yen province, we rented a scooter for 150,000 dong ($6.5), and on our arrival on Phu Quoc island, the Episode (reincarnation) festival was booming there, and judging by the local chat in the telegram, bikes were rented from 250,000 ($11), and even those were not there. Don’t rush to take off the first one you come across, walk around and maybe save a couple of dollars. For example, far from the tourist area in our own guest house, we immediately rented for 150,000 dong and drove it until we bought our own.

How to find the lowest price when renting a bike?

If there are no cheap options in the area, but you need to drive, rent for a day or two, find a cheaper one and return the first car to the owner. A bike and a hotel are the most important expenses on a trip, besides food, there is no point in overpaying for something that can be found cheaper. Average prices for bikes with automatic transmission transfers to Fukuoka: 100,000 - 150,000 dong. More expensive only in high season tourist places.

How to check the technical condition of a bike when renting?

Be sure to check technical condition bike: brakes, shock absorbers, headlights, steering wheel turn. It’s best to make a couple of circles around the area, see how the gears change, the pads work, and the engine hums. If the scooter jerks sharply when riding, then it is better not to take such a device, its gear shift system is faulty and riding on such a thing is not only inconvenient, but also downright dangerous.

Point out to the owner all the chips and cracks so that he doesn't include a bill for repairs when he returns. Better yet, take a photo of the bike from all sides, and separately the license plate number - believe me, in the crowd of bikes in the parking lot it will be easier to find yours.
Minor accidents are commonplace; those who do nothing make no mistakes. Therefore, if you have a problem and the bike is damaged, it is better to evaluate the repairs at a service center (of which there are a great many) and possibly make repairs, rather than then pay an amount that is two to three times larger when returning.
Maintenance is the owner's concern, better a couple come once a week to show the moped for a scheduled s/o. If the bike is new, then this is unnecessary, but still: checking the oil and pumping up the tires can be useful.
Usually they require a deposit in the form of a passport, but you should also agree on a copy/photograph, citing the fact that the passport is deposited with the hotel owner, you can give the hotel address and telephone number. Why? Because in the event of an accident or theft, your passport will not be returned until you pay for the damage, which can be as large as the cost of a new bike, which is 1000 - 1500 dollars.
About legal side Read on for the question, but without a license, much less driving skills, getting behind the wheel is everyone’s personal choice. If there are no options, then ask someone experienced to show you how to operate a scooter, this is easy to do in a group on Facebook or local chat, for example, Russian chat in a telegram in Fukuoka and a group in Facebook ).
Theft of bikes in Vietnam is a rare phenomenon, and for example on the island of Phu Quoc it is senseless, it is impossible to take them off the island on a ferry without documents, and on a smuggled boat it is a chore, but still do not forget about simple precautions: do not leave the key in the ignition, do not leave it for a long time in an unfamiliar place, do not throw it in the middle of the road (they may drag it to another place and you will not find it).

Take a photo of the bike number on your phone, this will make it easier to find in the parking lot.

What license do you need to drive a bike in Vietnam?

Driving a vehicle without an appropriate driving license is an offence. Since January 2018, amendments to the criminal code have come into force in Vietnam, and driving without a license on the roads of the socialist republic may end a hefty fine and even imprisonment.

International driving license in Vietnam

In 2015, Vietnam ratified the international convention on the recognition of driving licenses of countries participating in this convention, but there are several “buts”. In Russia there is a form of international driver's license in the form of a hefty paper book, which is not valid without a Russian license. That is, even if you have international rights, you need to carry your Russian license with you. And they will only act with the category that is indicated in your rights.

That is, if you have category B ( a car), then you cannot drive a motorcycle. If both A (motorcycle) and B (passenger car), then you can rent a car, a bike or a motorcycle. Vietnamese inspectors sometimes don’t know this, or pretend not to know.

How to localize your driving license in Vietnam

In Vietnam, you can also go through the procedure of localizing your Russian license if you do not have international ones. This can be done at the Department of Transport in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) or Hanoi. This procedure is not complicated, but it is tedious. You need to translate your license into Vietnamese and have it certified, pay a fee, and submit documents. The cost of this procedure is about 700,000 dong and takes several days. That is, if you have driver's license categories A and B, but there are no international rights, you can localize them for the duration of your stay. They write that conditions are constantly changing and licenses are issued either for the duration of the visa (from 3 months) or forever.

Also, if you have time, but don’t have the required category, you can take the exam at a driving school and get the desired category. At the same time, if you have category B and you have localized your license, then you do not need to take the theory test, and you will only have to take the practice test.

In any case, with or without a license, there is a terrible level of corruption in Vietnam, which is sometimes useful for tourists, and driving a bike without a license is a personal choice. The guards write that the average “fine on the spot” ranges from 200,000 dong to infinity. Sometimes the Vietnamese set up posts with a tow truck and a continuous stream of bikes turn up for inspection.

It’s easy to see such a post in advance due to the traffic jam ahead of the road. I also recommend subscribing to the local chat of the place where you are, in ours, for example, they constantly write where the posts are, and we avoid such places.

In the republic, unlike some other Southeast Asian countries (Indonesia, Malaysia), traffic is on the right, like in Russia, and if you drive at home, then there will be no problems adapting to the transport system. But there will be a different problem - in Vietnam there is real hell going on on the roads. The chaotic traffic is especially frightening on the streets of Saigon, and not so scary on the tropical back streets of Phu Quoc.

The Vietnamese driving style is driving on sidewalks, turning at red lights, cutting off and other reckless driving, but since the speeds are most often not high, you can survive it, and after driving for a couple of weeks you can get used to it. In any case, here are the main traffic rules, following which you have less chance of catching the eye of an inspector or causing an accident.

On the streets of Saigon...

Traffic rules in Vietnam

Ride only with a helmet; the first thing inspectors do is catch uncovered heads. This will not only be costly to your wallet, but also risky to your life.
Speed limit: in the city up to 40 km/h, outside the city up to 80 km/h. But the boundaries settlements may not be marked, so even with a license you can run into a fine. Vietnamese policemen like to set up ambushes with photo recordings of speeding, and driving with the wind is fraught with a large fine.
Driving only in the far right lane. According to the rules, the driver of a motorcycle can only move in the far right lane, going to the left only to overtake or avoid obstacles.
On the roads of Vietnam you must give way to everyone who is taller than you. The rules of precedence are: passenger car - bus - heavy truck.
Stopping at the traffic light line: even if a Vietnamese goes to a red light, you are not recommended to do this.

The Asia Accident Myth

And also about safety: the fact that in Asia drivers drive carefully and have no accidents is a myth. I myself have witnessed road accidents several times, and even with fatal. Recently, before my eyes, a Kamaz (there are many of them in Vietnam) knocked down a bike with passengers, two adults and a child, like a pin. It was such a terrible accident fatal, after which the desire to drive disappeared like smoke. Now I drive 30 km/hour and am in no hurry to go to the next world, which is what I wish for you. Neither rod nor nail, as they say.

I want to tell you a little about traffic in Vietnam

First there were the French in Vietnam. The traffic was declared to be on the right. This was the end of the entire educational driver culture.
The people were poor, a bicycle was a luxury.
Then the Americans came. More details from here.

Amazed by the bacchanalia that reigned on the roads, the American administration allocated a dozen motorcycles with sidecars that plied around the city.
A fighter was sitting in the carriage, in his hands he had a bamboo stick wrapped in rags (not animals).
As soon as a fighter noticed a cyclist riding along oncoming lane, he quickly struck the latter in the face with a bamboo stick, while simultaneously knocking the intruder off his bike.

This method of restoring order had an effect and the Vietnamese began to drive in a straight line. However, as we know, America lost the war.
Perhaps one of the reasons for this defeat was their persistence in establishing order.

After the war, everything returned to normal: everyone traveled, whatever they wanted. It got to the point that the then leadership of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam turned to the then leadership of the USSR for help. And then, one fine day, our Soviet traffic cops appeared on the streets of Ho Chi Minh.
We studied the characteristics of local brains and orders. We decided to make traffic on some of the streets of Ho Chi Minh one-way.
Done.
The Vietnamese drove along the street in accordance with the sign... And on the sidewalks in the opposite direction.
Our traffic cops grabbed their heads and proposed to pass a law on administrative penalties and fines for violating traffic rules.
To which a fair answer followed: “The government that adopts these laws will not last long.”
That's how everything remained as it was

But the arrival of our traffic cops was not in vain.
Some experience was shared.
For example, from an ambush with a radar on straight, flat sections of the road outside the city, where for some reason there is a limit sign of 40 km/h.
Well, solving the issues “without a receipt” and a savings bank”...

Noticed: where there is a traffic jam of honking motorbikes, rickshaws and cars, there is a traffic cop/traffic cop.
Without them, somehow everything dissolves on its own. At the level of instinct.

The worst is for drivers of passenger cars.
Private.
He's always to blame.
And it doesn’t matter that he’s a motorbiker, he just decided to turn around from the right lane in front of his nose.
He (the motorbike) is poor, he does not have money for treatment and repairs of his motorbike.
And you are rich, you have Personal car. You get to pay.

This is the system of socialism in action.

By the way, after every accident a crowd gathers around and decides who is right and who should pay.
So, Vietnamese traffic cops go for investigations only if the case ends in death.
So everything is being decided more and more in everyday life... But without fighting.

What else can be said about traffic in Ho Chi Minh City and its surroundings?
The main thing in a car is the horn. If the horn breaks, the driver lights up alarm, takes to the right and until he fixes it, he won’t go.
Well, a quick word about traffic: it’s a madhouse.
I, having driving experience with a license since 1986 (and driving experience since 11 years), would not even risk driving out of the garage gates in Ho Chi Minh City

Road traffic in Vietnam

In Vietnam, road traffic has its own unusual laws, which not even all Vietnamese know and understand. One of the features of Vietnam is the huge number of mopeds, bicycles and motorcycles.

The Vietnamese prefer to travel with these vehicles because of the high cost of cars, which are subject to a huge duty of 200%. Moreover, after just an hour in Vietnam, you understand that this is a city in which, even if you have a car, not everyone will decide to drive it.

The most important vehicle in Vietnam is the moped, without which no local resident can imagine their life. Thus, the roadways of cities are filled with thousands of mopeds and only a small number expensive cars who, like turtles, move slowly and carefully.

Vietnam amazes tourists with very interesting and funny moments of everyday life, for example, how the Vietnamese have adapted to transport in their small vehicles not only various animals (chickens, ducklings, pigs), but also building materials, huge furniture, household appliances and much more.

Most tourists who have just arrived in the country are shocked and frightened by the fact that the locals completely disregard traffic rules. Formally, they exist in Vietnam, but, unfortunately, they are not observed by anyone on the roads. In populous cities, endless streams of mopeds rush along, not noticing either traffic lights, road signs, or zebra crossings for pedestrians. Sometimes, of course, very fast drivers are still punished with a fine for speeding or failure to comply with the rules. But these are very insignificant fines that don’t really teach drivers anything. Therefore, you should not be surprised if you see a Vietnamese on a moped who not only drives into oncoming traffic and crosses the road two solid lines, but also turns left from the far right lane. All this is quite natural - he’s in a hurry!

It is also important that the Vietnamese practically do not use rear-view mirrors at all, even when changing lanes. Therefore, if you notice only one mirror on a moped, do not be surprised, because some mopeds cannot “boast” of this either.

Riding a motorcycle or scooter in Vietnam requires certain skills and knowledge of the specific road rules (traffic rules) in this country. Many people write that there are no rules in Vietnam, you just need to drive carefully. I can’t agree with their arguments, but I can confidently say that there are rules! Yes, the rules are somewhat different from ours, and just like ours, the Vietnamese can break these rules. Nevertheless, the majority of traffic participants comply with the rules.

I cannot guarantee that everything I described is the official traffic rules of Vietnam, but I can guarantee that the actual situation on the road is subject to the laws described in this article. Agree, in reality the state of affairs has more practical benefits.

Location of vehicles in Vietnam

Traffic conditions in Vietnam are somewhat different and are characterized by a huge number of two-wheeled vehicles: motorcycles, scooters, bicycles, so there are designated areas for the movement of these vehicles. Instead of our gravel roadsides, in Vietnam the roadsides are always asphalted or concreted. This paved roadside is intended for two-wheeled vehicles. In the figure I depicted the location of vehicles on the highway:

Photos of the road on the Qui Nhon - Nha Trang section

Is it possible to enter the car lane? You can, it's not prohibited, but you preemptive right when driving in this lane there are cars. This means that if something happens, you will need to quickly move into your lane. Usually this happens when someone wants to overtake in this lane.

For example, you are driving in a lane for cars, and a truck is dragging towards you, followed by a bus (the bus wants to overtake the truck). And rest assured, the bus will overtake oncoming traffic, entering your lane, and you need to quickly get out of this lane somewhere, because... the bus will fly towards you.

Therefore, we move very carefully in the lane for cars, and constantly monitor the possibility of pressing to the right. With experience, you will learn to recognize when a bus might be heading towards you. Pay attention to road surface on right lane, there may be sand or rice drying there :)

Everything described above concerns traffic on roads outside cities; in cities, motorized vehicles move in all lanes, and there can be up to 5 in each direction.

In Vietnam, driving on the right is familiar to us, but if for us driving in the oncoming lane is something out of the ordinary, we cannot even imagine that someone will drive towards us on the side of the road, then in Vietnam this is normal practice.

A Vietnamese man was driving, passed a store, and suddenly remembered that his wife had asked to buy bread. Why cross to the other side of the road when you can just go back along the side of the road?

Often someone will be driving towards you, clinging to the side of the road, you will need to move to the center of the road. Those who are driving towards you drive carefully and let everyone pass, but you need to be understanding about this manner of movement.

Everything described above concerns traffic on roads outside cities; in large cities, motorized vehicles move in all lanes, there can be 5 of them in each direction.

Priorities of vehicles on the roads of Vietnam

The coolest buses on the roads of Vietnam, they rush at great speed in the left lane, constantly honk, overtake in the oncoming lane, and generally behave extremely aggressively. Everything is inferior to buses. Be extremely careful with them.

The most predictable people on the roads of Vietnam are long-distance truck drivers; as a rule, they drive with constant speed, when changing lanes, always turn on the turn signals, all movements are smooth and measured. On unregulated intersections long vehicles always have an advantage over motorized vehicles; all motorcyclists slow down and let the truck pass.

The most reckless ones are small trucks like our ZIL 130x, you can expect anything from them, they can change lanes, turn around, stop and leave alleys completely unexpectedly for you. Our gazelle drivers always drive by the rules compared to these comrades.

Ordinary cars in Vietnam don’t stand out much; as a rule, they drive predictably, don’t go anywhere, and don’t risk being overtaken in the oncoming lane. Although there are exceptions.

Motorcycles, scooters and bicycles - let's face it, two-wheeled vehicles have much lower priority over four-wheeled ones. And by and large, their task is to make sure they don’t interfere with four-wheelers. Please note - here no one will yield to the cyclist, the exact opposite is happening.

People on the roads of Vietnam are inferior creatures, no one will let you pass, about pedestrian crossings forget it too. But it is not customary to crush pedestrians, so pedestrians cross the road anywhere, and vehicles go around them, like water flows around a stone in a river. Often the only way to cross the road, simply step into the street, then at a steady pace (predictably) just cross the road.

Rules for crossing intersections

It’s easy to drive straight, just know how to drive a motorcycle and you’ll quickly get used to the heavy traffic in Vietnam. Difficulties arise when passing intersections; sometimes it can be difficult to understand when to go and when to stop.

If the intersection is equipped with a traffic light, then you can say you are lucky: we go on green, we stop on red. But we take into account two possible features driving through intersections:

The first feature is that intersections are often equipped with a sign allowing you to turn right on a red light, of course, allowing those going on a green light to pass. Look for the corresponding sign next to the green one (this is either a green arrow - then everyone can go, or an additional traffic light with a motorcyclist, allowing only motorcyclists to go to the right).

The second feature is that it often happens that in busy areas, before the start of traffic, forward direction, road users allow those who need it to turn left first. It seems that this is not regulated by anything, but we have observed such a picture more than once - pay attention to the picture.

If the intersection is not equipped with a traffic light and there are no priority signs, and in Vietnam they are almost always absent, then we safely pass the intersection as follows:

We let long vehicles (trucks) through, it’s hard for them in Vietnam, we have to give in;
We try to get into a large flow of traffic, or to join some group of Vietnamese. The point is that people cross the intersection in groups; if you are alone, no one will let you through, but if there is a larger group of you than from the other direction, they will let your group through. Hence the rule: on which side the most people have gathered - those who go, those with fewer - they give way.

Sections with in a circular motion, wait until more motorcycles gather from your direction and move with the group - then they will let you in. According to personal feelings, sections with roundabouts are the most difficult and unclear in terms of priorities.

The main rule is be predictable for other road users, move smoothly but persistently.

Speed limits in Vietnam

People don’t drive fast in Vietnam: the following rules apply to motorcycles: speed mode:

within the city - 40 km/h
outside the city - 60 km/h
permissible limit without penalty - 5 km/h

In general, I would recommend observing the speed limit, traffic conditions are difficult. In addition, often someone on the right drives across the road, thinking that you are moving 40 km/h and will have time to brake, but in fact you are flying at 70 km/h and have no opportunity to brake. A couple of such cases and all the desire to drive in the city disappears. So do not exceed for your own safety.

What else do you need to know

Neither Russian nor international law not recognized in Vietnam. Of course, you do not have local rights. But if you follow the other rules, the police will just wave and wish you good luck. We were never stopped, but were welcomed at every post. IN as a last resort They will tell you the amount of the bribe.

In Vietnam you can only ride with a helmet; without a helmet you will be stopped at the first checkpoint.

Just in case, I’m publishing a table of fines:

Riding without a helmet – from 100,000 to 200,000 VND
Driving without a license – from 800,000 to 1,200,000 VND
Driving without a technical passport or without license plates – from 300,000 to 400,000 VND
Speeding by 5 km/h – from 100,000 to 200,000 VND
Exceeding the speed limit by 10 km/h – from 500,000 to 1 million VND
Exceeding the speed limit by 20 km/h or more – from 2 to 3 million VND

Conclusion

Well, that’s probably all the rules for driving on the roads of Vietnam. In fact, there is nothing complicated about them, the main thing is to understand that they are different. After a couple of days on the train, you will get the hang of it and begin to understand the situation on the road just as well as the locals.

If you still have any questions, ask in the comments.

If you decide to travel around Vietnam from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, then my article about this trip

P.S. Many thanks to the creators of the road editor Autocadabr, with its help I was able to visualize road situations.

Is it worth renting a bike in Vietnam, what are the fines for traffic violation, how to learn to ride a bike, who is boss on the road and how to cross the street correctly. We have looked at the main problems that foreigners face when coming to Vietnam.

1. The Vietnamese drive completely anarchically. Nobody follows traffic rules.

The Vietnamese drive anarchically, but in a systematic way. Eat unspoken rules, knowing which you can simplify your life significantly.
Firstly, always let buses and trucks pass, they are the main ones on the road.
Secondly, drive at the speed of the flow without violating the speed limit. According to the rules, you can drive around the city at a maximum of 40 km/h.
Third, look around. Vietnamese often turn in the wrong places without looking, overtake, or even drive into the opposite side. Keep your eyes open, don’t rush, and then you’ll be able to react to the current situation in time. Although the Vietnamese break the rules everywhere, due to the low flow speed, you can always have time to react to the violator.
Fourthly, when approaching an intersection, honk your horn, this way you will announce your presence (on narrow streets it is not always clear whether anyone is driving).

2. Transport does not allow pedestrians to pass.

This is true. If you want to cross the road, it is not a fact that they will let you through, even if the light is green. They will just drive straight at you :) They will drive and go around. You can get under the wheels only in one case: if you run across the road, and do not calmly cross it. Out to roadway and go forward with a poker face. Don't even doubt that they will go around you. Slowly, but they will go around.

3. If you don’t have a Vietnamese license, then no one will rent a bike in Vietnam.

Yes, and how. Most foreigners drive around Vietnam without a license, although a foreigner here can, in principle, get a local license and drive legally. It's just that no one gives a damn. Bikes are issued without checking the license, and traffic cops rarely stop you.

4. Traffic cops specially catch foreigners on bikes and extract bribes from them.

In the Mui Ne area, foreigners are sometimes stopped to make sure that they do not have Vietnamese rights and hint at bribes. But these are exceptions rather than the rule. In Nha Trang, no one is guarding anyone. If there are problems with traffic cops, it is because of serious offenses.

How to protect yourself from meeting with traffic cops:

Always wear a helmet. For driving without a helmet, the fine is 100,000-200,000 VND. And without a helmet you will really stand out, but if you don’t want problems with the traffic inspector, you don’t need to stand out.
Do not exceed the speed limit. As I wrote above, in the city you can drive at a maximum speed of 40 km/h, outside the city - 60 km/h. The fine for speeding is from 500,000 to 3,000,000 VND. If many people like to drive outside the city, then in the cities I would advise you to trudge along like everyone else, so as not to stand out and not run into unnecessary attention.
Wear a long-sleeve sweater, a mask and glasses, and hide your hair if it is light. In short, look like a local. If you weigh no more than 55 kg, then from afar they will take you for one of their own.

5. I rented a bike and realized that you don’t know how to ride.

If you know how to drive a car, then there will be no problems with a bike. Denis got on a bike for the first time in his life and immediately rode off. I remember I was very surprised then, because my husband only knew how to drive a car. But as the practice of our many friends has shown, almost everyone repeats Denis’s success.

If you have never sat behind the steering wheel before, or driven a motorcycle or even a bicycle, then you may have problems. There are 5 options here.

First: don’t tempt fate and take a taxi. not as cheap as we would like, but after a couple of weeks of vacation you are unlikely to go broke.
Second: five for rent regular bike or an electric bike.
Third: use the services of motorbikers. These are such lazy people who, sitting on their bike in the shade of a palm tree, joyfully wave to every foreigner and offer to ride him wherever he wants. The prices are lower than for a taxi, but you definitely have to bargain; lazy people like to give a tourist a ride once a day, charge him 3 times more than the allotted amount, and then rest.
Fourth: ask your friends living in Vietnam to teach you how to drive. The study will take 1-2 days, no more. If you think that you have no one in Vietnam, then most likely you are mistaken. Sometimes it seems to me that half of our native Chelyabinsk has already visited or even lives in Vietnam at least once. There are a lot of us here, they will help, don’t even doubt it!
Fifth: find a group of guys on VKontakte who rent out bikes in Vietnam. They are also engaged in training. It's not expensive.

There is a small nuance: if you know for yourself that you are, well, let’s say, a little nervous type, then I think the Vietnamese movement will irritate you very much. And irritation and safety on the road were not at all close, so I suggest not exposing yourself and others to danger. In Vietnam, it is not the strongest who survive, but the calmest. Poker face is our everything! :)

6. I rented a bike and realized that cars and buses are crowding out bikes.

In Asia the rule is that whoever is bigger is in charge. So the main ones on the road are buses. In Sri Lanka they drive at unreal speed, overtaking and cutting off everyone, in Vietnam the buses are more decent, but they still feel like kings. Treat buses like jeeps on Russian roads- if he behaves arrogantly, let the idiot through, don’t put yourself in danger. If you act recklessly in response, you will achieve nothing but an accident, because not a single traffic participant will expect retaliatory measures from you. In general, not everything is so bad, I would even say that everything is good, because on Asian roads there are very often paved roadsides intended for two-wheeled vehicles. A good separate road only for motorcycles, bikes and bicycles is very convenient and correct.
