Anh Tuan, a truck driver for a construction material store on Nguyen Trai Street, Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi, always prided himself on his smooth driving. One day, rushing to deliver goods to a customer in Hoai Duc District, he sped along Pham Hung Road. Suddenly, a dog darted across the street, forcing Anh Tuan to slam on the brakes. His truck swerved dangerously close to the median. Fortunately, no accident occurred. However, Anh Tuan was fined by the traffic police for exceeding the speed limit.
Anh Tuan’s story serves as a lesson for many drivers about complacency behind the wheel, especially for truck drivers. So, what are the current penalties for speeding in Vietnam? Let’s delve into the details with Hanoi Trucks.
