Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

This sort of stuff is why I'm maybe trying to avoid myself getting into dirt riding in Vietnam. No ambulance here really at all, air ambulance ha, no way, language barrier alone is enough to make even a bust ankle or wrist in a not even that remote location into a major event.

The most dangerous thing here is.....

1) older women on beige coloured Honda Leads, they ride with hood up, horse blinkers on, pull out directly into any traffic, whether its 20-30 kmh city traffic, or 100 kmh highway traffic directly infront of anything you can imagine. They just expect that everyone will avoid them.

2) Guys who have bought or lease SUV or pickup truck recently. Unbelievable overtakes and head on murderous intent kind of driving. Uniquely only new SUV and pickup truck, you know the exact kind of people, they exist in the west, but they exist here too, only their driving skill is even smaller than the content of their pants.

If I'm ever hit out here, it will be due to someone from category 1 or 2. Imagine your on a large A road, huge, wider than any normal single carriageway in the UK. Broad daylight. COming the other way is a bunch of bikes in the hard shoulder, a regular truck, bus or car in the opposite lane doing nothing wrong. Around that comes 1 or 2 new SUV or pickup truck, fully taking the entire road infront of you, literally right up to the barrier. I've twice now considered going for the gap BETWEEN oncoming vehicles as there is basically NO gap between ongoing SUV small prick and barrier.

Even worse, they don't get on with it when overtaking. Numerous times when been behind a truck and an SUV, SUV goes for the overtake, and I'm behind the SUV doing only 30 to 50 kph, image my surprise when instead of getting out of 4th gear into something sensible to get on with the overtake quickly, expose his entire family and every other road user to the least time in danger as possible yeah?
No.
Chooses 6th gear, car either nearly or does infact stall, ran into the back of two brand new SUV (toyota fortune is the worst offender) as they've stalled by changing into a ridiculous gear. Someone must have told them along the lines of '6th gear is for going fast', and not how a car actually works? Seen it enough times in just a few weeks to see its a large scale problem.

Traffic police here are a force to be feared, stun guns, batons and incredibly small man syndrome issues. Been stopped plenty, but every time so far for breathalizer, they either just pass me because 1) not been drinking 2) they see a white guy and don't want to have to deal with me. Should be have been done for mega speeding the other day, but nope, pulled over, guy was preparing to get really angry as I was going a bit quick (a road dualie in middle of nowhere), pulled mask up, saw I was a white guy and waved me on faster than my engine start stop could even knock off.
However Police do not really offer any real road policing, i.e. stopping the murderous intent SUV and pickup drivers from their daily chaos. Every single Vietnamese person fears traffic police for their out of the blue crazed baton wielding violence when you dare question their auth or tear AND new SUV/pickup driving pricks. All of them have dozens of stories of having to just ride completely off the side of the road and suck up the minor injuries and bike damage instead of the instant death the front of a Hilux would offer.

I'm not ashamed to say I now leave my rubbish water/pop bottles in a carrier bag hanging from centre of bars, when pickup/SUV prick goes the other way they get an empty bottle at the windscreen. This kind of person will only learn from financial pain. UK is infested with them too.
