VN to issue International Drivers Licenses in Oct. 2015 (+ foreigners)

As always, the Vietnamese government changes policy by tiny steps at a time. The headline should include that this applies "ONLY TO THE VERY FEW FOREIGNERS who have permanent residence."

Don't hold your breath: the law was enacted in Jan 2015 and should have been implemented in August. It goes on and on..::.

I won't drive in Saigon even if presented
a licence because I would become a mass
murderer mowing down and tearing through
those hundreds of tiny bikes surrounding me.
The horns on those bikes are frustrating enough
to make anyone mad.

If so you must learn to drive in Saigon 
Within a week you will be a good driver!!
