In a traffic incident, two motorcyclists, traveling at night on a busy road, attempted to overtake a car on the right. With limited visibility ahead due to a curve, the motorcyclists were caught off guard, crashing into a guardrail and being thrown from their vehicle. The condition of the two individuals is currently unknown.

On winding mountain passes with limited visibility at night, vehicles should avoid high speeds. Reckless overtaking in blind spots reduces the ability to react to sudden curves ahead.
Tam Dao pass is known for its sharp curves, posing a high risk when descending. Essential skills for descending the pass on a motorcycle include maintaining low speed and using engine braking instead of constant reliance on the brakes. Avoid attempting to overtake cars on curved sections. If overtaking is necessary, choose straight sections with wider lanes.
Also in Tam Dao, two boys riding an electric bike without helmets in the opposite direction skidded and fell on a curve directly in front of a car on 17/8. Video: Hai Nguyen
