Driving in Saigon becomes truly hazardous when it rains - flooded streets disguise potholes, and breaks are rendered ineffective at short distances. These are the elements that came into play last week when the footage below was shot.
In the video, a group of people observe pure mayhem, as dozens of bikes fall due to imperfections in the road surface. Many of the accidents occurred when people behind the fallen bikes were forced to break quickly, causing them to skid out.
While we don’t take any pleasure in the driver’s misfortune, the video serves as a great reminder to drive safely and slowly, especially when it’s raining!
The action starts around the 3 minute mark.
