Violation and Driver’s Response
According to the Mo Tac City Police, on the morning of February 10, authorities received complaints from residents about a young man using a truck with an expired inspection to transport a group of tourists to view plum blossoms. A video of the incident was shared on social media, drawing attention from many users.
Following the report, traffic police collaborated with Chieng Hac Commune Police to summon the involved party to the police station. It was confirmed that the driver was Mr. H.A.P.
During the investigation, Mr. P. stated that the truck involved belonged to his family and had been in use for nearly 30 years. Although he knew the vehicle had exceeded its service life, his family frequently repaired and maintained it, but did not use it for transportation.
Mr. P. explained that on February 9, a tour group visited the area and requested him to take them for a ride on the truck for a unique experience. Initially, he refused, but out of hospitality and a desire to serve the tourists, he agreed to drive them for a short distance. His family did not anticipate that this action would spread widely on social media.
Consequences and Remedial Measures
Police noted that the incident severely violated traffic safety regulations, particularly the use of an unregistered vehicle to transport passengers. This not only poses a risk of accidents but also disrupts order and damages the local tourism image.
To address the situation, Mr. P.’s family has learned from their mistake and cooperated with authorities to handle the case according to regulations. Additionally, officials have advised the public against using vehicles with expired inspections to carry passengers, ensuring safety and compliance with the law.
Conclusion
The incident of an outdated-inspection truck carrying tourists on its bed in Moc Chau not only caused public outrage but also raised concerns about traffic safety and legal compliance. Through this event, authorities should strengthen宣传教育和监督，确保所有旅游活动都安全合规地进行。同时，公众也应提高个人责任感，不因眼前利益而忽视自己和社区的安全。
