A large truck, speeding and encroaching into the next lane, attempted to overtake a motorcycle traveling in the same direction. The rear of the truck clipped the motorcycle's handlebars, causing the rider to lose control and fall onto the road. The victim lay motionless, their condition unknown, as the truck continued driving. This incident highlights the dangers of reckless driving, especially for larger vehicles.
On narrow roads, large vehicles like trucks should maintain a safe speed and avoid reckless overtaking. Their considerable blind spots pose a significant risk to smaller vehicles sharing the road.
In this scenario, the truck driver violated overtaking regulations (overtaking with an obstruction ahead and the motorcycle not having fully moved to the right to yield). This violation resulted in a traffic accident, and the driver faces a fine of 20-22 million VND and a 10-point deduction from their driving license.
