Hanoi Truck Accident: A Road Safety Lesson for Truck Drivers

“Prevention is better than cure,” this proverb always holds true, especially when traveling on the road, where hidden dangers lurk. This morning, a tragic truck accident occurred on Nguyen Trai Street, Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi, leaving many in shock. While the exact cause of the accident remains unclear, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of road safety, especially for truck drivers – the “highway heroes” who carry heavy burdens on their shoulders.

This Morning’s Truck Accident and Lessons for Truck Drivers

Traffic accidents, especially those involving trucks, often result in devastating consequences. So, what are the causes? Besides objective factors such as weather, infrastructure, and the awareness of other road users, we cannot deny the subjective factors from the drivers themselves.

Driving While Fatigued and Distracted

Many drivers, due to work pressure and tight delivery deadlines, have to stay up late, wake up early, and even drive continuously for many hours. Fatigue and lack of alertness while driving are among the leading causes of tragic accidents.

Mr. Nguyen Van A, a traffic accident analyst and author of “Traffic Safety – A Guide for Every Journey,” shared: “Driving a truck while fatigued is like controlling a multi-ton ‘killing machine.’ Just a moment of carelessness or distraction can lead to unimaginable consequences.”

Neglecting Vehicle Maintenance

“A stitch in time saves nine,” regular truck maintenance is crucial. However, many drivers neglect regular inspections and maintenance due to time and financial constraints. Brake failure, worn tires, malfunctioning signal lights… are “hidden killers” that can claim lives at any moment.

Truck Feng Shui – A Spiritual Factor to Consider

Vietnamese people often value spiritual factors and feng shui in life. Trucks are no exception. A truck with good feng shui for its owner will bring luck and prosperity. Conversely, a truck with bad feng shui can lead to undesirable outcomes, including accidents. Therefore, drivers should carefully consider factors like color, license plate number, and departure date and time to choose a truck that is compatible with their destiny.
