Last month, a friend of mine, a long-time truck driver for a Hyundai dealership on Nguyen Van Linh Street, received a speeding ticket in the mail. He was rushing to deliver a Hino truck to a customer in Bac Ninh and, eager to make it on time, accidentally exceeded the speed limit on the Phap Van – Cau Gie Expressway.

His story reminded me of the old saying, “Near ink, you’ll be black; near light, you’ll be bright.” The same applies to traffic laws. Without a firm understanding, it’s easy to unintentionally commit violations. Especially in this era of Industry 4.0, speed cameras are everywhere. A moment of carelessness can lead to a costly ticket.

So today, let’s review the latest speed limit regulations for cars and trucks in Vietnam with Xe Tai Ha Noi to ensure safe driving and avoid penalties!
