Bac Lieu Man Fined for Driving with his Feet


The unidentified man was recently caught on tape driving down Highway 1 in the southern province of Vinh Long using only his feet, according to Thanh Tra who submitted this video to Tuoi Tre.

In 2013, a Bac Lieu man was fined VND6,000,000 for a nearly identical infraction.
