(Dan Tri) - Trying to overtake without reaching a safe speed and distance, the car crashed into the front of a truck in a completely avoidable situation.
The incident occurred on November 17 on the IC7 bypass, near the turnoff to Thuy Van Industrial Park, Phu Tho province.
According to the image recorded by the dashcam of a vehicle going in the same direction, the VinFast car passed two trucks in a row and when passing the third truck, it made a serious mistake of changing lanes too early, leading to the collision.
Cutting in front of a truck to overtake, a car fell into a "rock-and-egg" situation (Video: OFFB).
One of the important experiences when overtaking another vehicle is not to rush to change lanes, which can easily lead to dangerous cutting situations.
When the speed is not enough to overtake the vehicle in the adjacent lane, there is not enough safe space ahead, the overtaking signal has not been received by the driver in the adjacent lane... but the driver still deliberately lets the vehicle swerve, it is very easy to lead to a collision, like the situation in the clip above.
If there is an oversized or overweight vehicle in the left lane, do not try to pass it to merge. If the driver of this vehicle slows down, creates distance, and intends to yield, and there is enough safe space ahead, signal that your vehicle is about to merge with the turn signal.
Never overtake immediately after signaling, as this will cause other drivers to be unprepared to yield. When it is safe to do so, overtake decisively and avoid staying parallel to the vehicle in front for too long.
Before changing lanes, you need to see the entire front of the car behind you in the rearview mirror, to avoid the situation where the front is in but the rear is not.
In addition, the above situation also shows that the two trucks turned on their emergency lights and drove in the left lane. This is a driving style that is frustrating for vehicles that want to overtake. Therefore, large vehicles carrying heavy goods should move in the middle lane or the right lane, to give way to the leftmost lane for vehicles that want to overtake.
In addition, continuously turning on the emergency lights when there is no urgent problem like two trucks can easily confuse other drivers, making it difficult to know if the truck is changing direction, when it will change direction...
