The incident occurred on 30/9 at Tan Hiep roundabout amidst limited visibility due to rain. Vehicles were proceeding in an orderly manner when a passenger car, rapidly approaching from behind and on the right, suddenly swerved. The car cut off a vehicle equipped with a dashcam, then collided with a motorcyclist traveling ahead, knocking them down. The dashcam driver reacted quickly, braking sharply to prevent a potential chain collision.

Navigating roundabouts requires specific driving skills. According to a safety driving expert from Mitsubishi Motors Vietnam, all vehicles entering a roundabout must reduce speed and yield to traffic approaching from the left. Failure to observe these rules can lead to dangerous situations.

Legal consequences for such violations are clearly outlined in Decree 168/2024. Car drivers who fail to yield to vehicles from the left when entering a roundabout face a fine of 4-6 million VND and a deduction of two points from their driver's license. If this specific violation results in an accident, the penalties significantly increase to a fine of 20-22 million VND and a deduction of 10 points from the driver's license.
