Previously, this clip was circulated on social media. The person who posted the clip said that the incident happened at around 8:30 a.m. the same day. At that time, the car driver (the person who posted the clip) was going in the right direction on the My Thuan - Can Tho expressway, approaching the overpass at the intersection with Provincial Road 908 (Binh Tan District, Vinh Long Province) when he suddenly saw a red car going in the opposite direction in the lane near the median strip and flashing its headlights continuously.

The driver quickly slowed down and swerved into the inner lane to avoid the accident. The clip after being posted made many people angry, because the above behavior could have caused a serious traffic accident.
