The story goes like this: my friend Tuan, a long-time truck driver for Thaco Truong Hai dealership on Nguyen Van Linh Street, was carrying a full load, planning an early delivery to a customer in Hang Ngang Street. Arriving at a seemingly empty stretch of road, he pulled over to the curb, intending to quickly unload some goods.

However, he had barely unloaded a few boxes when a traffic officer appeared with the familiar ticket book. It turned out that Tuan had parked in a no-parking zone, violating the Road Traffic Law. Consequently, he received a hefty fine and lost time relocating his truck, disrupting his entire delivery schedule.

Tuan’s experience serves as a warning to many truck drivers, especially newcomers. Understanding traffic laws, particularly regulations concerning parking fines, is crucial to avoid unnecessary trouble.
