Nghe An: Oversized and overloaded vehicles still 'run rampant' all night long
(Baonghean.vn) - Recently, although the authorities have increased their efforts to handle the situation, at night on the national and provincial highways of Nghe An, we still regularly see vehicles with signs of expanding their cargo beds and carrying oversized and overloaded cargo.

| From February to early April 2022, the Traffic Inspectorate - Nghe An Department of Transport requested 234 vehicles to have their walls and bodies extended.
