| Bulky vehicles travel at high speed, honking loudly every time they pass through intersections or when traffic density is high. Photo taken at 3:23 p.m. on November 18 in front of Sa Nam market gate (Nam Dan). Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Not only speeding, the driver of the truck with license plate 37C - 271.92 was also talking on the phone and driving while driving on the road. Photo taken at the intersection of Nam Dan town at 9:23 am on November 29. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| When transporting goods, these vehicles are only roughly covered with two canvas frames or automatic opening and closing nets, fixed on both sides of the truck bed, the rear of the vehicle is almost completely empty. Soil, rocks, sand, and gravel falling onto the road cause environmental pollution and traffic safety problems for other vehicles. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Looking up on the website of the Vietnam Register, the Howo truck with license plate 37C - 152.21 has a cargo bed size (LxWxH) of 5000x2300x800mm, meaning the cargo bed of this truck is 80cm high, but in reality the cargo bed of this truck is much higher.

| Also from the information looked up on the website of the Vietnam Register, the most recent inspection of trucks 37C-15059 and 37C - 152.21 was on May 4, 2015, the certificate expired on May 3, 2017 (vehicle 37C - 2197's certificate expired on September 9, 2017). This means that these vehicles have been operating openly for more than 6 months without any competent authority handling it. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Not only on Highway 46, the situation of vehicles with signs of overloading is common on many national highways, provincial roads, inter-district and inter-commune roads. This is also one of the causes of traffic road degradation that has caused public indignation in recent times. Photo taken at Quan Banh intersection (Vinh City) at 9:43 am on November 24.
