“Drive carefully with a large vehicle,” a common saying among truck drivers navigating the roads in their powerful “warhorses.” Careful driving not only comes from skill but also from a thorough understanding of traffic laws. The 2020 Road Traffic Law has significant changes, especially for trucks and vans. What are these changes? Let’s explore them in detail with Hanoi Trucks!
a) Regulations on Load Capacity and Vehicle Dimensions
The 2020 Road Traffic Law clearly stipulates the load capacity and dimensions for each type of truck. Overloading or modifying truck beds not only results in severe penalties but also poses significant road safety risks.
For example, Mr. Nguyen Van A, owner of a 750kg Thaco truck in Long Bien District, Hanoi, was heavily fined for exceeding the permitted load on Nguyen Van Linh Street due to his lack of understanding of the law.
b) Regulations on Permitted Traffic Times and Routes
Each type of truck has specific regulations regarding permitted traffic times and routes within urban areas. Understanding these regulations helps drivers plan their routes effectively, avoid fines, and minimize traffic congestion.
c) Vehicle Documentation Requirements
In addition to registration, inspection, and insurance papers, truck drivers must carry documents such as: A valid driver’s license for the appropriate vehicle class, and a certificate of technical safety and environmental protection.
d) Safety Equipment Regulations
The 2020 Road Traffic Law requires trucks to be fully equipped with safety devices such as: Brake systems, lighting systems, rearview mirrors, horns, etc.
| Violation | Fine Amount | Driver’s License Suspension |
|---|---|---|
| Overloading | From 8 to 12 million VND | 2 to 4 months |
| Truck Bed Modification | From 2 to 4 million VND | 1 to 3 months |
| Driving During Prohibited Hours or on Restricted Roads | From 4 to 6 million VND | 1 to 3 months |
| Lack of Required Documents | From 300,000 to 500,000 VND | – |
