“Driven to praise, driving me nuts: a US-Vietnam traffic comparison”

This is my latest essay for VNExpress International. A Vietnamese version Lái xe ở Việt Nam (Driving in Vietnam) was published on 22.11.22 with over 200 comments, most in agreement with me. The original title for the English version was Driving in Vietnam, Where Courtesy and Cooperation are Dirty Words. Think of it as a follow-up to a 2018 article entitled When in Vietnam, drive as the Vietnamese do.

Happy reading!
