The Bitter Truth About Overloading Trucks in Hanoi
“A bargain is a bargain lost” – this saying holds true, especially when it comes to overloading trucks. My friend, Tuan, from Gia Lam, Hanoi, bought a used truck at a bargain price for transporting goods. He was tempted by the advice to “make extra money” by carrying passengers. Unfortunately, during one such attempt, he was pulled over at the Truong Chinh – Giai Phong intersection. The result? A hefty fine, vehicle impoundment, lost business deals, and financial woes.
Tuan’s story serves as a cautionary tale for those considering overloading their trucks. So, what exactly constitutes overloading?, what are the penalties? And what’s the safe and effective solution? Let’s delve into this with XE TẢI HÀ NỘI!
Overloading Trucks: More Harm Than Good
What is Overloading?
According to the Road Traffic Law, each type of truck and van has a specific limit on the number of passengers allowed. Exceeding this limit constitutes a violation of the law and can lead to severe penalties.
Stiff Penalties for Overloading
Depending on the severity of the violation, fines can range from hundreds of thousands to millions of Vietnamese Dong, and even lead to driver’s license suspension. Moreover, overloading significantly increases the risk of traffic accidents.
Fine Schedule for Overloading Trucks
| Violation Level | Trucks Under 9 Seats | Trucks Over 9 Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Exceeding 1-5 Passengers | 4,000,000 – 6,000,000 VND | 8,000,000 – 12,000,000 VND |
| Exceeding 6-10 Passengers | 6,000,000 – 8,000,000 VND | 10,000,000 – 14,000,000 VND |
| Exceeding 10+ Passengers | 8,000,000 – 10,000,000 VND | 12,000,000 – 16,000,000 VND |
