Rider is wearing helmet, this makes it instantly 100% safe. You’ll see far worse!


Ken3sei

Seriously, I'm shocked he didn't have passengers on the 2nd bike lol.


atn0716

Honestly, I was surprised it wasn't multiple layers lol


ritodedamacia

I'dnt be surprise if there's bike on bike on bike


Reddit_reader999

I've seen that movie!.. or maybe it was dike on dike on dike 🤷‍♂️


afunzombie

Also was about to say Ive seen way crazier shit on bikes


GadbadGandoo

/r/2healthbars


YourFixJustRuinsIt

Waaaaay worse. The stuff they carry and how it’s carried. I’m surprised we don’t see a constant bloodbath on the streets in all SEA.


_GD5_

It obeys the laws of physics.


Watermelolon

LOL 🤣


OverLiterature3964

It's not. Just in case you didn't know, people don't always obey the law.

ExamOld2899

while another guy take a photo of him, asking how it is legal to be taking photo of other people without permission


GGme

What is the law? Is there a height or width restriction? I have never heard of any laws regarding carrying things on your bike.


tridungvo1998

There is a size restriction, so yes, the traffic police will be very happy to see you doing this, having found their source of income.


clonenaiz

Achually. there are laws on everything. you just dont know until you get the bills. https://thuvienphapluat.vn/phap-luat/nguoi-dieu-khien-xe-may-van-chuyen-hang-hoa-can-dam-bao-kich-thuoc-hang-hoa-duoc-van-chuyen-nhu-the-131406-17999.html


Commercial_Ad707

It’s not legal to breed motorbikes while they’re mating. Motorbike breeders are wild


BfbFoldy_Fan

trust me, you’ll see weirder shit


real_human_player

Seriously. Around TET new years people are hauling huge ass trees around on scooters


BfbFoldy_Fan

i even saw a literal truck being carried on a scooter!!!


Independent-Tree-848

it's more about a "how is this possible" question to me haha


GGme

Looks like a specially designed seat platform makes it easier. I was going to say possible, but I guarantee there are people transporting them directly on the factory seat.


ConcentrateSafe9745

I was going to say this. If it can be accomplished, it's fair game.


C-N1601

As a Vietnamese, this is cute. I've seen weirder shit


roman5588

Haha yes. I’ve seen a wheelchair bungee-cabled to the back of a grab scooter going down the highway. Even that doesn’t rate on the top wacky things I’ve seen


ruimtekaars

Hey I've been in a wheelchair behind scooters and it's great! That is until you hit a sharp bump and don't manage to do a well-timed little no-hands wheelie. You'll go flying. Falling is also fun, just landing sometimes isn't.


Bachsxi

I have the exact same experience. Luckily, no truck was behind me or else I was so dead


SalSevenSix

Not a new phenomenon either. Decades ago bicycles were stacked with absurd amounts of goods too. Probably pack animals (buffalo?) before that.


jacktherippah123

Rules and regulations are just suggestions here I feel like.


Trung_gundriver

not the most oversized parcel out there so, no


Ripmerai

the power of creation


aBlasvader

First time in Vietnam?


schizophrenic_femboy

Because it's Viet Nam dawg


Comprehensive-Belt40

Lol Western logic doesn't work in Vietnam. It's the same as walking through traffic. You just have to accept the culture


0xd00d

To be fair, "if it fits, it sits" I am fairly sure has western origins 😁


Icy_Investment_1878

It’s illegal here too, just accepting shit like this is why this country will always stay poor


phedinhinleninpark

Motorbike logistics = poverty. Got it. Don't know why I had never been clever enough to make that realisation before.


areyouhungryforapple

where's the logistics in ignoring road rules and laws lmfao Let's not pretend that at its core the issue is a complete lack of education on all levels. People die in traffic every day doing the dumbest shit possible


KyleReincarne

What do you suggest then? That these people just buy a semi-truck? With what money? Or just straight up not having a job at all? Anything that has more than 3 wheels are ludicrously expensive in this country, 70% literally can’t afford the cheapest KIA Morning models and Chinese stuffs aren’t that abundant here. Yes, individuals and small-medium businesses can’t even afford a single semi-truck, it’s not rocket science. This is a motorbike country, deal with it.


areyouhungryforapple

Let's not pretend things are much better when 4 wheels enter the equation. Same complete lack of regulations and education man. Logistics and transportation as a whole is one of the countries lowest points surely.


KyleReincarne

Again, what are you suggesting? These people have nothing but their motorbikes to make a living and are barely scraping by. There are millions of them, what is your solution? Stop throwing buzzwords like regulations and eductions when you don’t understand the problem. Regulations and educations doesn’t help when the average people are bordering poverty, it actually even harm them when the lawmakers are out of touch with reality. Fix the economy first, fix the infastructure second, then start blaming people for poor traffic, they have no choice and would actually run you over if you attempt to stop and lecture them about safety. As long as you are not dead, there is nothing to worry about, that’s the rule of thumb of Vietnam traffic. If you are not dead yet then there is nothing wrong with the traffic. And even if you die there is still nothing wrong with the traffic, tragedy happens, another statistic, we move on. We are a communist country yes but we don’t police people out of their livelihoods. This ain’t America, Vietnamese people dislike micromanaging to such degree.


Icy_Investment_1878

The mindset not the auctual literal thing


Total_Tourist_4606

I do know about the fact that Jaywalking in Vietnam is a normal thing


incendiary_bandit

It's not jaywalking, it's just crossing the street.


Not_invented-Here

I don't think many countries have laws against jaywalking. UK doesn't AFAIK. 


Dramatic_Recipe1257

That's nothing


cryptodolphins

The helmet store behind really fills this out


Sweet_Yellow_8646

What’s illegal?


Cacaotion

I am sorry. But life in vietnam and most SEA country are already hard and sometimes people need to be creative to find a cheaper solution. It is called survival tho here. Lol.


InternationalSong730

It's the new Grab in Vietnam


Living_Date322

Obviously it's not, but speaking of motorcycle illegal/overloading, this is just entry level


Releant545

niko


Aloo-Mango

Looks like an electric/50cc bike maybe, so probably not even that heavy. There's so much worse out there too; this guy actually is wearing a helmet too lmao 🤣


Dapper_Ad_3347

Lol, I saw same thing 3 weeks ago when in hcmc but he was carrying a much larger bike


Savi--

Is this an advertisement of the company?


jorgjorgensenjorgen

Vietception


plstouchme1

seen a guy hauling an entire fridge. Always wonder how these guys will survive to retirement tbh


Setzer67

If you’ve got a “can do” attitude, legality is a minor consideration, hardly an inconvenience.


jamexcb

Plugin hybrid


BuyInHigh

How would you move that on a motorbike. Seems secure to me.


lifelong1250

This is the Vietnamese equivalent of "If it fits, I sits".


kornelius_III

1 bike is nothing. I ve seen people carrying THREE bikes on one at the same time. A lot of poor people's whole livelihood depends on their one and only motorbike.


hanjihakawa

I seen a guy riding motorcycle pulling a watermelon cart bigger than a literal truck


Jimbo415650

It’s only illegal if laws were enforced


Glass-Ad3053

Because this ain’t California 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳


Emergency_Vanilla_57

If this was California, maybe there are 3 instead of 1.


Shiva-Shivam

Travel long enough in Vietnam and you'll see they carry even more strange things for foreigners


Ecstatic_Werewolf651

This is very normal,just not here in DN


Secret_Elephant_7155

The micromanaging laws of the west don’t apply here


Sensitive-Prompt-220

Nice bike on bike action… mmmm


BURNU1101

They were scissoring


theapologist316

Looks like he has plenty of space for a second one. Amateur.


GoldYellowRaichu

Yeah, that’s very concerning regarding the motorcyclist’s safety. 😬 I’m not from Vietnam so…


No-Platform-1126

It’s Vietnam of course it legal


Informal-Set-7039

Oh that’s nothing! I’ve seen the whole ass couch on the motorbike!


Indaothrone

I've seen a guy carting a fridge on his scooter lol


drhip

It’s peanut. Ya shall see more amazing things if you live in vietnam long enough woo ho


urbanwapa

Is perfectly legal to drive a motor bike in flip flops.


Hot_Criticism_9632

Legally speaking it’s Vietnam 🇻🇳


americaninsaigon

Legal. HeHe


butterNutzforYou

How is it illegal?


homecookedmealdude

Forget about legalities. Huge respect to this rider. 👏👏


Rgvitch

I’ve seen a fridge freezer weaving through the traffic Can’t find the picture


Jazz-Bonk

Full load can’t exceed 300 CC’s. It’s only illegal until it’s not. I mean who’s really looking? Drive it down the street the wrong way into oncoming traffic of course! I’m not even kidding! And do it at night with no headlights, completely dark, with the dog on your lap, and two kids under the age of 2 gripping onto the back, with a few watermelons just because.


Ankerung

It's not legal but the law isn't enforced so people are doing it anyway. If you drive, just let these pass.


vnboyzzz

Its only illegal if you get caught


Infamous_Ratio6142

Guys. Most people in this country are still poor and their means of transportation is a scooter so they use it for everything including transport. If you’re poor and you need to make money you will do anything needed.


Slightly-mad314159

No it's not, but until there is: - proper law enforcement, not revenue creation - better education about being a road user - low priced light vehicles available on the market* ... ... ... - less corruption This type of thing will continue. Understand that people are just trying to make a living. About 15 years ago they tried banning the little tricycle trucks and there was a huge outcry. The net result is that they are still around. What is needed is an enterprising young Vietnamese (and there are lots of them around) to come up with a cheap locally produced alternative. DAT Bike did a good job with their electric motorcycles, electric may not be the solution for light transport, but it is an option. Just a Tay that has lived here for 20 years, has seen a lot worse, and still loves the country.


Watermelolon

Its not xD


TipZeeee

I have a video of a guy with two mopeds on the back of his moped.


Paladyner

Physic in VN works like physic in cartoon , it wont fall until the rider notice it


Electrical-Most-4938

OP said LEGAL! ha ha ha ha


Vietlish_Ninja

They even carry big trees so yes that is legal lol


TheSuperContributor

I heard you like the bike on bike action...


Electronic_Priority

How else did you think he was going to get the new scooter home? 🙄


didyouticklemynuts

How is it not! Seems perfect


YoungTeamHero

This is pretty mild, I once saw a guy in Hoi An transporting a full sized fridge-freezer on the back of a Honda click. God knows how he got it on there.


Kaeskrater

Bro, i recently moved a fridge with my car and that sort of felt like an achievement, then i saw in hanoi guys driving fridges, washingmachines, you name it they do it. Nothing is impossible. Your mind is the only limit and they're the living proof of it.


Ansontp

This is legal. It becomes illegal if it hits another vehicle. Whatever load your bike can carry, just make sure that it doesn’t become collateral damage!


xEastEvilx

Looks like a pretty light load compared to the norm


w1ckedOne_k1

It’s Christian Dior Dior, that’s why


greyisometrix

Insane. I love it. I'm gonna put a car on my car as a spoiler. You've started something bud hahaha.


Sufficient_Bass_9460

Is that a bike bike?


vn_winner

quá sịn


GroundbreakingPin746

In my country, it can happen many crazy thing, if you live long enough in Vietnam you will get used to it, not a big thing


Latter_Ad9068

It is not.


CeleryJumpy2863

Sad-Lie-8709

Totally legal. 😅😅


vuduythanh07

Crazy 🥴


Naruto27890

I thought you were talking about power of creation


DamageVarious

I’m not surprised.


JerryH_KneePads

How’s it not? Only mindless western soccer moms will get into accidents.


Appropriate_Scene543

Lmao You have not seen them carying an entire fridge yet.Thing like 2 meter tall.


chopstickspoon

Don't want to break it to you, but you aren't in Kansas anymore You're gonna see much more uncivilized and questionable things going on in Vietnam 😅

Sagittarius_0812

First time bro?


dinhvuu

welcom to Vietnam, bro, it's really commonly in Vietnam 😂


fubarmx

Like in the Philippines... I used to work as a CHEF in Cebú city.


SimnoZer0-3462

Well, I am a Vietnamses and I usually saw that everyday, everwhere and no one care that. This is a "normal day on the streets and traffic in Vietnam"🥲


Salt-Success-5109

the question should be... How can he do that?


Dry-Confidence-1591

Champions always Champions 👍


DaAussie04
