The above signs of “disregard for the lives” of passengers always pose a potential risk of traffic accidents.

(born in 1976, residing in Hoang Mai town, Nghe An province) is an example of driving while still using a phone.

For the above violation, driver Nguyen Duy H. was fined 4 to 6 million VND and had 4 points deducted from his driving license.

A representative of the Traffic Police Department assessed that using a phone while driving on the highway is especially dangerous. When using a phone, drivers can lose concentration, react slowly to unexpected situations; reduce the ability to observe and handle situations. This is also one of the causes of serious traffic accidents.

The Traffic Police Department recommends that drivers absolutely do not use their phones while driving, especially on the highway; if urgent communication is needed, the vehicle must stop at the designated place; equip supporting devices such as Bluetooth headsets if needed to use in case of real necessity...

The Traffic Police Department affirmed that in the coming time, it will continue to direct local traffic police forces and units to resolutely and strictly handle violations that cause traffic accidents in the spirit of "respecting the law, no forbidden zones, no exceptions".
