HANOI, Vietnam (AP) -- Faced with mounting public criticism, Vietnam's Health Ministry suspended a widely ridiculed plan to ban short, thin and small-chested drivers.

The ministry had recommended that people whose chests measure less than 28 inches be prohibited from driving motorbikes - as well as those who are too short (less than 4 -foot-8) or too thin (less than 88 pounds).

When the media revealed the plan this week, it prompted disbelief and scorn among members of the public, who envisioned the police pulling over female drivers to measure their breasts.

3. Shouldn't that be "Your boobs are too small?"
"Here, let me measure to make sure...."

I was just keeping abreast of the car in the other lane.

the number of passengers on the bike. When I was in Saigon, I saw a Honda 90 with seven riders. Three of them had to get off when they stopped and then push and jump back on to get moving.
