On October 30, a serious traffic collision occurred at Phu My toll station, when a white car deliberately cut in to enter the station, falling into the blind spot of a tractor-trailer. This incident has sparked many debates about traffic awareness and driving skills of drivers, especially in crowded situations at toll stations.
When approaching the toll station, the entrance is often crowded with long lines of vehicles waiting. This situation makes many drivers feel stressed and try to overtake, regardless of the queue rules. In this case, the car not only slowed down but also tried to cut in front of the tractor-trailer, which created an extremely dangerous situation.
The blind spot of a tractor-trailer is one of the important factors that drivers need to be aware of. When a large vehicle such as a tractor-trailer or container truck is operating on the road, the driver’s vision is often limited to certain areas, creating “blind spots” that smaller vehicles can easily fall into. This is especially dangerous in crowded situations where jostling can lead to unnecessary collisions.
After the collision, the white car was hit on the side, showing the driver’s lack of vigilance. Driving in such situations requires not only calmness but also good observation skills to detect and avoid blind spots. Drivers need to remember that when driving near large vehicles, they need to keep a safe distance and never risk jostling into high-risk areas.
In addition, it is important to note that in crowded traffic situations, slowing down and keeping a safe distance not only protects yourself but also protects other road users. When approaching a toll booth, drivers must line up in order to avoid obstructing other vehicles. The act of pushing and shoving not only shows disrespect for other drivers but can also cause serious accidents.
The incident at Phu My toll booth is a lesson that reminds us all of the importance of obeying traffic rules and keeping the streets safe. Driving skills are not only the ability to control a vehicle but also include observing, judging and responding to traffic situations appropriately. Just one minute of carelessness can lead to serious consequences, not only for yourself but also for those around you.
Drivers need to improve their awareness and driving skills to ensure the safety of everyone on the road. Equipping yourself with knowledge about blind spots, traffic rules and how to handle emergency situations is extremely necessary, especially during busy times such as at toll booths. Remember, road safety is everyone’s responsibility, and every driver can do their part to create a safer road environment.
