Drivers: Bạch Đẳng Road/Trấn Phú Road

On the other side of the bridge (opposite of the beach side) on Bạch Đẳng road there is a checkpoint area. I believe it's near the government building. They're strict with the driving laws in this area; Stay alert. Also on the Trấn Phú road (opposite side of Bạch Đằng road).

Apparently I was driving in the car lane. I was going to turn left on the next street, so I went onto the left lane to turn lol. I changed lanes too early lol. I got pulled over and paid a fine ₫500,000. They wanted more, but I played the "stupid foreigner" card. I showed them my USA Drivers License (they took a picture of my USA DL). Make sure to keep your motorbike key on your person.

Appearently they accept international drivers permit (IDP) 🤷‍♂️. Next time I'll stay in the right lane and just go in a loop or make a left turn after the checkpoint... They were actually pretty nice lol.
