The Importance of Wearing a Seatbelt

On the bustling Trường Chinh highway, Minh, a Hino truck driver for Thành Công truck dealership, was driving while talking on his phone. Suddenly, a motorbike darted out from a side alley. Minh slammed on the brakes, sending his phone flying. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to avoid a serious accident. However, the incident left him shaken and highlighted the critical importance of wearing a seatbelt while driving.
