It really is absurd as the horn is the first thing people reach for versus the brakes. In fact I cringe daily as massive busses or truck fly through busy intersections and only hit the horn and never the brakes. Then there are all the people on scooters pulling out onto busy roads and not shoulder checking at all. Just a horn maybe and pull into traffic hoping others accommodate. They don’t always and this there are many traffic fatalities and a lot of injuries many avoidable. Oh…and the many people scooting in the wrong side of the road which is extremely common still here in Nha Trang despite the laws saying it is illegal now.
The one and only time I was on a motorcycle in Thailand and the dude that was driving just fully fucking zoomed into oncoming traffic I vowed to never do it again. It was insane. And it's just totally fucking normal there. People die ALL THE TIME.
I have not driven in Thailand, but it is absolutely the norm in Vietnam.
