When exploring a new place, it's always best to take it slow—especially in Phu Quoc, where roads can get busy during peak season. Driving at a moderate speed gives you time to react to unexpected situations and navigate safely. Since it may take a while to adjust to local road conditions, driving carefully helps minimize the risk of accidents and keeps your holiday stress-free.
Safety Tips
✅ Drive Slowly
✅ Never Drink and Drive
Alcohol significantly impairs your judgment, slows your reaction time, and reduces your ability to assess dangerous situations on the road. Even small amounts can affect your coordination and decision-making, making accidents far more likely. Drinking and driving is one of the leading causes of serious traffic accidents worldwide. If you plan to drink alcohol, always arrange alternative transportation—use a taxi, ride-sharing service, or have a designated driver. Your safety and the safety of others on the road should always come first.
✅ Always Wear a Helmet
Helmets are mandatory by law in Vietnam—riding without one can result in fines. More importantly, wearing a helmet greatly reduces your risk of serious injury in an accident. Make sure it fits properly and is securely fastened before you ride.
✅ Don't Panic at Horn Beeping
Horn usage varies by culture. In Vietnam, drivers beep their horns to signal they're passing on your left, not out of frustration. If you hear a beep nearby, stay calm, check your mirrors, and maintain your lane. It's simply a courtesy alert to let you know someone is overtaking—just acknowledge it and continue riding safely.
