The incident occurred in the evening with limited visibility. A woman operating an electric scooter waited before slowly crossing the road. As she was almost across, a white car traveling at high speed collided with her, sending her a considerable distance. The extent of her injuries is currently unknown.
Driving safety experts emphasize the importance of caution in residential areas. According to a driving safety expert from Mitsubishi Motors Vietnam, vehicles should never travel at high speeds in such zones. In low-visibility conditions at night, drivers should maintain speeds below the legal limit to anticipate potential hazards. To ensure clear visibility in the dark, especially near busy intersections, drivers should release the accelerator, keep their foot on the brake, and ensure their estimated braking distance remains within the illuminated area.
Furthermore, electric scooters and motorcycles must use their headlights and turn signals when crossing roads to alert other vehicles to their presence and intentions.
