On a busy road, a girl operated her motorbike with one hand while using her phone with the other, failing to observe the road. She forcefully hit the rear of a car equipped with a dashcam. Fortunately, she did not fall onto the road but immediately left the scene.
Immediately behind her, a man on a motorbike appeared to be startled by the girl's incident, causing him to brake abruptly. He skidded and fell onto the road, dangerously close to a bus wheel. Fortunately, the bus driver swerved and braked in time, preventing a chain collision.
Drivers must always focus on observing their surroundings and operate their vehicles with both hands. It is crucial to avoid personal activities, especially using a phone, as this distracts from road observation and poses a safety risk to both the driver and others.
Under Decree 168/2024, motorcyclists using a phone face a fine of 800,000-1 million VND and a deduction of 4 points from their driver's license. If such behavior causes an accident, the fine increases to 10-14 million VND.
Meanwhile, the motorcyclist behind also needed to pay attention to the traffic flow ahead and maintain a safe distance. In unexpected situations, drivers should use both front and rear brakes simultaneously to prevent losing balance, which can lead to skidding or falling.
