And then there are the impromptu, unmarked speed bumps, that people plant at will!

I don't ride Scooters in big Thai Cities or ever at night. Always book a seat near the middle of the large buses and don't take sleeper buses ... unless you are really desperate, or are stuck somewhere. Taxis may be a bit more expensive, but generally are safer. I ride Song Teows a lot and seldom have seen them in accidents. The scariest bus & moto taxis rides that I've ever had, were in Hanoi. Jez, that was scary! The density of Scooters is astounding. I rented a Moto Taxi guy for 2 days for around $50. I figured he was safer. I bought my own helmet and left it as a tip.
