Vietnam road accident dead rate world's highest

The shocking news is Vietnam actually has the highest road accident death rate in the whole world. The reason to this "number one" is because the motorcycle rider does not required to wear a helmet. As a result, most of the road accidents involve motor bikes. From today onwards, they would start to enforce the law and hoping to bring down the death rate.

The news is quite surprising in the sense that what seems to be a basic thing in one place, might be out of scope somewhere else. We should be mindful when traveling to other countries. Take your time to understand the culture and social norms. The world is so interesting.
