Recently, rumors about a truck falling off Chuong Duong Bridge have caused widespread concern. This article will delve into the truth behind these rumors and provide valuable safety tips for truck drivers navigating bridges, ensuring their own safety and that of the community.

Truck Plunges off Chuong Duong Bridge: Fact or Fiction?

In reality, there has been no official confirmation from authorities about a truck falling off Chuong Duong Bridge. This is likely a false rumor circulating on social media. However, it serves as a wake-up call for drivers to heighten their awareness and responsibility while driving, especially when operating large trucks that pose a higher risk of accidents.

Truck-Related Accidents: A Growing Concern

According to statistics from the National Traffic Safety Committee, the number of truck-related accidents remains high, particularly in major cities like Hanoi. The primary cause is the poor traffic law compliance of some truck drivers, including speeding, exceeding load limits, and reckless overtaking.

Mr. Nguyen Van A, an expert from the Institute of Transport Research, stated: “To reduce truck-related accidents, a comprehensive approach is needed, with the most crucial aspects being raising driver awareness and responsibility, alongside stricter enforcement and penalties for violations.”

Navigating Bridges Safely in a Truck: Essential Tips

Driving a truck across a bridge presents more risks than driving other vehicles. Here are some crucial tips to ensure safety when driving a truck over a bridge:

Reducing Speed When Ascending and Descending Bridges

Ascending and descending bridges are when vehicles are most susceptible to instability, particularly heavily loaded trucks. Therefore, drivers should reduce speed and shift to lower gears for safety.
