According to the article, a Russian woman performed dangerous motorcycle stunts on Vietnamese roads. She was convicted of disturbing public order, fined VND30 million (US$1,154) and permanently expelled from Vietnam.

The article also says Vietnamese model Ngọc Trinh did similar stunts and received a one‑year suspended prison sentence. The author, a British expat, said he downgraded to a 50cc motorcycle after his UK licence expired so he could stay compliant with Vietnamese law.

The article notes that Vietnam’s tourism boom brings many visitors, but both foreigners and locals can face serious legal consequences for dangerous riding. It stresses that travelers have a greater responsibility to respect the laws of the host country because they are guests.
