Strengthen inspection and strictly handle buses that speed, recklessly overtake, and force each other to compete for passengers.

On the afternoon of July 12, according to information from the Traffic Police Department of Tay Ninh Province, the authorities have reviewed and verified the incident in which two buses operating on the Cho Lon - Thanh Vinh Dong and Long An - Cho Lon routes chased and forced each other on the road, in which one bus was thrown onto the sidewalk as reported by the press.

These 2 buses have a route to travel through some routes in Ho Chi Minh City and Tay Ninh province. Through verification of the incident of the bus being forced onto the sidewalk, it happened in Ho Chi Minh City.

Through verification, the incident of two buses chasing and squeezing each other was on a route between Tay Ninh province and Ho Chi Minh City. However, the squeezing incident as shown in the clip was determined to have occurred in Ho Chi Minh City.

However, these two buses belong to a passenger transport cooperative with routes passing through Tay Ninh province, so the provincial authorities will work with the cooperative and, at the same time, remind and require the transport unit and drivers to comply with traffic safety laws.

According to information from the authorities of Long An province (old), in previous years, they also received reports of buses speeding and recklessly overtaking on National Highway 1 in the area to compete for passengers.

Accordingly, the Traffic Police force has increased patrols and controls on traffic routes in areas where buses circulate and strictly handled cases of passenger transport drivers speeding, recklessly overtaking, competing for passengers, and parking illegally.

Along with that, the application of technology, especially cameras to record and handle traffic safety violations has created positive changes. Violations of reckless driving, illegal parking to compete for customers by transport vehicles are also less detected than in previous years.

To ensure traffic order and safety, the Traffic Police of Tay Ninh Province will continue to increase patrols and controls on traffic routes, especially key routes. Thereby, resolutely and strictly handle violations.

As reported at noon on July 12, on July 8, on a road with many people and vehicles, there were 2 blue buses traveling in the same direction. One bus running the Cho Lon - Thanh Vinh Dong route had the license plate 62G-00531 and the other bus running the Long An - Cho Lon route had the license plate 51B-26984.

At the scene, the bus running on the Cho Lon - Thanh Vinh Dong route with license plate 62G-00531 was still lying on the roadside, close to the curb, while the bus running on the Long An - Cho Lon route with license plate 51B-26984 was forced to run up onto the sidewalk. A glass panel of one bus was broken.

The incident caused panic among passengers on the bus and passersby. Through the clip, people were very upset with the act of disregarding the law and the lives of others and hoped that the authorities would investigate and handle the matter seriously.

According to passengers' feedback, the act of forcing the car to stop was due to fighting to pick up passengers./.
