    When I lived there 6-7 years ago many people didn’t even stop at red lights. It wasn’t uncommon to see someone wearing a cooking pot as a helmet. It will be a while before any policy is actually followed

      So you’re saying that people there are actually trying and making an effort to do the right thing instead of getting all bent out of shape that head protection makes them “less masculine”? I say the country has more hope than the US for lasting, effective change in policy and lifestyle.

        Comparing Vietnam to the US is a pretty low bar. You’re not wrong but it just seems like a pretty strange comparison

          The internet has broadly become a really contentious shitty place where nobody can stand not being “right” about something.

      I dont think time is the critical factor, but will.

      If they really want to roll this out then they will.

      Even if there’s no pressure on commuters, rental places and companies will do it, then at least the market and infrastructure for them is improving.
