A car, traveling at high speed against the flow of traffic on a roundabout, crashed into a motorcyclist who was proceeding correctly. The impact sent the motorcyclist flying onto the car's hood before they fell to the road. Casualties were not immediately clear.

Drivers entering a roundabout must yield to vehicles approaching from the left, proceed counter-clockwise, and use the correct lane based on their intended exit; the outer lane for nearby exits and the inner lane for farther exits. These rules ensure safety and smooth traffic flow. Driving against traffic on a roundabout is strictly prohibited as it creates hazardous conditions.

Decree 168/2024 stipulates penalties for oto drivers who go against traffic on a roundabout. Violators face fines ranging from 18-20 million dong and have 4 points deducted from their driver's license. If the violation causes an accident, the fine increases to 20-22 million dong, and 10 points are deducted from the driver's license.
