Vietnam lies in a subtropical climate zone, with the weather roughly divided into three distinct regions. The north experiences clear summer and winter seasons, with the monsoon/wet season and high humidity lasting from May to October. The central region has a long dry season from January to September, followed by a short wet season. The south follows a tropical climate with two distinct seasons—wet and dry—where the monsoon, with high humidity, lasts from May to November.

During the wet season in the south, rainfall typically occurs daily, with heavy but short afternoon downpours. The mountainous areas experience cooler temperatures due to the local topography. The best time to visit Vietnam is from November to March. April, May, September, and October are also popular, though motorbike tours are especially attractive during the monsoon because of the lush vegetation.

A very common question about motorbiking in Vietnam: Is it safe to drive around Vietnam? Can tourists drive in Vietnam? How common are traffic accidents in Vietnam? How safe are the roads in Vietnam?

Here’s our honest answer to all these questions: Driving a motorbike in Vietnam can be quite an experience. You’ll travel in a country with a unique traffic culture, which might differ significantly from what you’re used to.

Traffic rules in Vietnam often seem more like suggestions than strict laws. Expect a lot of improvisation on the road. Constant honking may make you feel nervous, and especially angry. It can mean anything from “I’m passing you” to “Watch out!”

Motorbikes dominate the streets, especially in bigger cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. They’re everywhere, from sidewalks to main roads.

Additionally, driving a motorbike in Vietnam can be aggressive, with drivers often ignoring lanes and traffic lights. Defensive driving is essential. Keep a safe distance, and you’ll stay safe.

Understanding local driving customs and norms will help you navigate the roads more safely. While driving in Vietnam can be challenging, it’s not necessarily unsafe if you’re cautious and aware of your surroundings. However, it’s always a good idea to exercise extra caution, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the local driving culture.
