(Baonghean.vn) - Although the authorities have launched many campaigns to deal with overloaded and oversized vehicles, currently on national highways, provincial roads, and even inter-commune roads, trucks with extended beds and poorly covered cargo boxes are still circulating on the roads.
 |
| A truck carrying soil after running along Highway 46 turned onto Nguyen Truong To Street (Hung Dong Ward, Vinh City) and then passed Nguyen Canh Hoan to dump soil for a project in Quan Bau Ward. |
 |
| Through observation with the naked eye, it can be seen that the truck bed has been extended by about 30-40cm. |
 |
| The container was expanded, covered up roughly, or even not covered at all, like the truck carrying dirt running in front of the Rao Gang Brick Factory (Cau Rao Gang, Thanh Chuong). |
 |
| Extended vehicles take advantage of the night to avoid the authorities. |
 |
| A truck loaded with bulky goods was traveling on Highway 46 through Hung Nguyen Town, causing many road users to be apprehensive. |
 |
| Overloaded trucks are a major cause of serious road degradation. Photo taken on Nguyen Truong To Street, through Trung My Hamlet, Hung Dong Commune (Vinh City). |
 |
| In 2016, the authorities inspected the load capacity of 6,650 vehicles, and recorded 996 administrative violations. Of which: overloaded vehicles: 363 cases; oversized vehicles: 569 cases; other violations: 64 cases. Fines: 5,816,800,000 VND (of which traffic police: 5,532,000,000 VND, Department Inspectorate: 284,800,000 VND). Driver's licenses revoked: 491 cases; forced to unload: 1,336.4 tons of various goods; 8 vehicles temporarily detained. |
| Mr. Nguyen Sy Thang - Chief Inspector of the Department of Transport said: The Traffic Inspectorate has just issued a plan to strengthen patrols and control of vehicle loads and vehicles with extended cargo beds. If an overloaded vehicle is found, it must be unloaded immediately. If an extended cargo bed is found, we will force the vehicle owner to redo it according to the original design before it is allowed to circulate. The plan will begin implementation from the beginning of next March. |
