Rain, Wind and Fog

Driving from Hue to Da Nang in the rain is not much fun, driving it at night and during a typhoon is not fun but challenging and exciting.

After almost being blown off the road a few times, I ended up not being able to see much of anything of the road while going up the Hai Van Pass. In Da Nang it was just very windy and a bit flooded but otherwise ok to drive.

Accidents on the Hai Van Pass

Driving on the Hai Van Pass is never the same, no matter how often you do it.

There’s always something new, whether it’s the view, always different weather, a double rainbow, a fire or accidents.

Despite the tunnel being built, some trucks aren’t allowed through the tunnel or just don’t fit through so they take the long road up and down the Hai Van Pass.

Most of the time they just spill some oil on the road but at times, they spill their cargo, too.
This time there were two almost identical accidents on two of he hairpin corners on either side of the pass.
