According to statistics from the Hanoi Traffic Police Department, from October 15 to November 14, through patrols and inspections, the city's traffic police force discovered and handled 1,152 cases of overloading and extending the vehicle's bed...
According to the Hanoi Traffic Police Department, the end of the year is the period when construction projects accelerate their progress to complete, so the transportation of goods and construction materials has many complicated developments. In particular, large trucks often violate regulations such as overloading, running red lights, and extending the bed.
According to Lao Dong Newspaper reporters, at the Duong Dinh Nghe - Pham Hung intersection, a series of heavy-duty vehicles were running freely even though it was not the scheduled running time. This is a road with a very high traffic density, so the above violations can lead to traffic jams and accidents. Outside a construction site on Me Tri Street (Nam Tu Liem District), a series of other trucks were parked illegally, without turning on their warning lights, occupying nearly half of the roadway.
Notably, the authorities' handling of violations encountered many difficulties. Accordingly, most drivers did not carry any documents related to the driver and the vehicle, such as driver's license, vehicle registration, etc. Many drivers even deliberately delayed and did not cooperate. Only when a crane was sent to "force" them did they agree to work.
“It takes a lot of time to handle an overloaded vehicle, from measuring to weighing the vehicle. Not to mention that many drivers are just hired workers, so when the authorities check, they have to wait for the vehicle owner to bring the documents before making a record,” Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Quoc Huy - Deputy Captain of Traffic Police Team No. 6 - Traffic Police Department, Hanoi City Police - shared.
In addition, to deal with the authorities, many bus companies are willing to hire people to “wait” at the headquarters of the Traffic Police units. When the patrol teams move, these people immediately follow them to inform the vehicles to “stay still”. Therefore, in addition to public patrols, the plan of disguise and secretly recording violations is also deployed.
From now until the Lunar New Year, the Traffic Police of Hanoi City will continue to step up patrolling and control, promptly detect and strictly handle violations. At the same time, the Traffic Police will coordinate with the Police forces of districts, towns, and the Transport Inspectorate to organize direct propaganda at construction sites, requiring investors, transport enterprises and drivers to sign a commitment to comply with the provisions of the Road Traffic Law, especially not to overload goods when traveling on the road.
