I travel in SEA region a lot, personally it was never comfortable driving or sitting in ride or even walking in Philippines and Vietnam.
There is a huge lack of driving manner, no turn signal for making a turn/parking.
I myself got into a small traffic accidents even in China where it's quite a fair bit better, the driver didn't give way and had a bump.
But what I dislike the most is where there are too many ebikes/motorcycle driving up onto pedestrian way to park and exit parking especially because the population density is so high
Yeah, I do to. Sure there's a trade off but I think it's unique to each location and driver/rider/pedestrian sensibilities are a very local thing.
I had a friend who was hit by a food delivery driver on an e-bike while walking along an alley way. She was born in the country it happened in. So, I do get your point.

Mentioning PRC, I remember cities littered with heaps of public share bikes too. That was the country my friend got whacked from the scooter coming from behind.

China had so much shared bikes it was pretty crazy, I actually walked past one of these dump.
