Authorities in Gia Lai province have taken action against a driver of a state-owned vehicle for reckless overtaking on the An Khe Pass. The incident, captured on video and widely shared on social media on July 3, prompted an immediate investigation by the provincial traffic police.
The driver, identified as T.T.A., explained that he was transporting a superior on a time-sensitive trip to Quy Nhon. He admitted to overtaking other vehicles improperly due to the urgency of the journey.
However, the Gia Lai Traffic Police Department has issued a violation notice, reinforcing their commitment to a "no forbidden zones, no exceptions" policy. The department also informed the vehicle's managing agency, adhering to legal procedures. This action comes amid a broader crackdown, with the department having recorded over 400 violations by official vehicles in just two days in mid-June, including speeding and disregarding traffic signals.
