The incident involved a container truck slowly making a right turn. The truck driver leaned forward to monitor the blind spot ahead. As the truck neared the end of its turn, a motorcyclist surprisingly attempted to pass directly in front to proceed straight, startling the truck driver. This risky maneuver caused the motorbike to nearly swerve into roadside bushes. The truck driver's careful steering prevented a collision.

Driving skills: According to Car Awards experts, many motorcyclists in Vietnam often "take advantage" of narrow gaps to weave through traffic. The small size and agility of motorbikes often lead riders to disregard traffic rules and become overly confident in their abilities, frequently misjudging situations.
In such situations, motorcyclists should stop at a safe distance to yield to container trucks. Stopping allows smaller vehicles, like motorbikes, to avoid blind spots, which are deadly dangerous areas. It is crucial not to take reckless actions, as seen with the motorcyclist in the video, attempting to pass in front of a truck. If the truck driver cannot react promptly, the consequences can be severe.
