“Better safe than sorry” – especially when driving a truck, understanding traffic laws is crucial. One common question among truck drivers is: “Which signs prohibit truck overtaking?” This article by HANOI TRUCK provides a detailed overview, helping you drive safely and avoid unnecessary penalties.

1. Decoding the Mystery: Overtaking Prohibition Signs

Recognizing and obeying traffic signs is vital for truck drivers. Here are the “no overtaking” signs that truck drivers need to be particularly aware of:

1.1. Sign #1: Overtaking Prohibited for All Vehicles

No Overtaking Sign

This circular sign with a red border, white background, and red diagonal line prohibits overtaking for all vehicles, including trucks. Whether you’re driving a powerful Hyundai truck or a familiar Thaco Trường Hải truck, patiently wait for a safe overtaking section.

1.2. Sign #2: Overtaking Prohibited for Trucks and Tractor-Trailers

No Overtaking for Trucks Sign

This sign is easily recognizable with the image of a truck and trailer crossed out. Whether you’re driving an 8-ton Dongfeng truck or a familiar 5-ton Hino truck, remember to strictly obey this sign.

1.3. Sign #3: Overtaking Prohibited on Narrow Roads

No Overtaking on Narrow Roads Sign

This sign often appears on winding, steep roads with limited visibility. Remember, “slow and steady wins the race.” Overtaking recklessly on these roads is like “gambling” with death.

2. Traffic Violation Fines Related to Overtaking

Violation	Fine (VNĐ)
Overtaking in a prohibited zone	4,000,000 – 6,000,000
Overtaking improperly	2,000,000 – 4,000,000
Overtaking causing a traffic accident	Varies depending on severity (possible criminal prosecution)

3. Overtaking Tips for Truck Drivers

Always carefully observe traffic signs, road markings, and traffic conditions before deciding to overtake.
Use your turn signal to indicate your intention to overtake and ensure a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Do not overtake unless you are certain about the traffic conditions ahead.
On winding and steep roads, be patient and drive in an orderly manner, prioritizing safety.

4. Frequently Asked Questions
