found this so far but this was reported last year - dec. 2004
| Quote: | Traffic accidents increase nationwide
There were 1,342 traffic accidents nationwide in November, up 6 per cent compared to the previous month. Accidents killed 953 people, up 2.4 per cent, and injured another 1,208, a fall of 21 per cent. Ha Noi and HCM City remain the country�s traffic accident hot spots.
There were also 31 railway accidents last month in which 16 died and 17 were injured, a 9 per cent increase in incidents and a 10 per cent increase in fatalities.

Found this in a blog.... | Quote: | At every junction, all rules seem to be ignored, and everybody just does whatever they need to do to get through to their destination. Often this would mean a group of 40-50 motorbikes going at right angles to another similar-sized group. Despite the apparant conflict of interests, everyone manages to get to where they want without incident. Just like some of the busier streets in Thailand, there seems to be an understanding that everyone else on the road could conceivably do anything they want, and so people know to expect the unexpected. In some ways this makes more sense than having a strict set of rules, just like we do in the UK, because it only takes one moment's lack of attention on one person's part and everything falls to pieces - nobody expects others not to play by the rules and when that does happen it's often tragic. But what happens in a city like Saigon when an accident does happen? If no-one's playing by the rules, who's at fault? It turns out that things are usually resolved by arguing until one person gets too bored or tired of arguing at which point they back down, effectively conceding defeat.
We asked about crash helmets but were met with looks of incredulity. "Where are you going then?" asked the man hiring out the bike. "Are you going out of the city?" To him, the idea that anyone would bother using a crash helmet inside the city seemed totally strange. Had he seen what the traffic was like out there?! We gave the crash helmets a miss on the basis that I would drive extra specially carefully. Whatever that means here ... |

Feb 2005: | Quote: | Traffic accidents decrease
Viet Nam had 9,918 traffic accidents reported in the first eight months of the year, leaving 7,703 dead and 8,483 injured, according to the National Traffic Safety Committee.
The number of traffic accidents, dead and injured has decreased by 18.5 per cent, 6 per cent and 23.7 per cent respectively compared to the same period last year.
The committee has instructed competent agencies to reduce traffic accidents, monitor the use of helmets and resolve congestion in high-traffic areas.
