Several truck drivers were recently fined for driving below the minimum speed limit on the Van Phong – Nha Trang expressway.
On the evening of June 26, representatives from Highway Road Traffic Patrol and Control Team 6 (Team 6) of Room 6 – Department of Road Traffic Police (C08), Ministry of Public Security, announced that authorities had issued fines to multiple truck drivers for violating the minimum speed limit on the Van Phong – Nha Trang expressway.
Specifically, at around 4:41 pm on the same day, through technical equipment, the traffic police detected a driver, L.V.N. (26 years old, from Binh Dinh), driving a truck with Ho Chi Minh City license plates at a speed of 55 km/h, while the minimum speed limit for that road segment is 60 km/h.
Driver N. was issued a fine for “driving below the minimum speed limit on a road segment with a specified minimum speed.” This violation carries a fine of VND 800,000 to VND 1,000,000 according to current regulations.
Earlier, on June 24, Team 6 also recorded and handled similar cases through the technical monitoring system.
A representative from Team 6 stated: “Driving too slowly on the expressway not only causes traffic obstructions, especially during rush hours, but also increases the risk of accidents as other drivers may not have enough time to react. Slow-moving vehicles can startle drivers behind them, potentially leading to chain collisions.”
Driving below the minimum speed limit not only poses an accident risk but also negatively impacts the driving culture and frustrates other drivers who are forced to overtake in unsafe conditions.
In the future, Team 6 will intensify inspections and strictly handle violations while promoting awareness campaigns to improve road users’ compliance with speed limits on expressways.
