Vietnam Truck Speed Limits: A Guide to Safe Driving

Mr. Nam, a seasoned truck driver from Cau Giay, Hanoi, had a close call on the Ho Chi Minh Highway. He was hauling a full load from the Thaco Truong Hai truck dealership on Nguyen Van Linh Street down to Dong Nai. The open road tempted him to speed, exceeding the limit. He received a hefty fine, lost money, and delayed his delivery. Since then, Mr. Nam has been meticulous about traffic laws, especially speed limits, for his safety and others’.
