TPO - After a period of calm, recently many old, uncovered UAZs carrying more people than the prescribed number have been running rampant on the streets of Hanoi ...

UAZ cars have been manufactured in Russia for decades and are designed with a roof, but when operating as passenger cars in Hanoi, most of these cars no longer have a roof. |
 |
When driving on the road, even when carrying passengers, cars often move in a long line and then in a horizontal line. |
 |
In the Hoan Kiem district area over the past few weekends, Tien Phong reporters recorded vehicles operating in long lines of 5 to 7 vehicles. In the photo is a convoy of 5 UAZ vehicles parading on Tran Nhat Duat street in front of the headquarters of Traffic Police Team No. 1, Hanoi Traffic Police Department. |
 |
The first difference compared to previous UAZ vehicles operating in Hanoi is that most of the vehicles now have license plates starting with "29" Hanoi (previously, they were mainly vehicles with license plates from other provinces), the current owner's name on the vehicle is Ha Noi Backstreet Tours Company. |
 |
The car does not have a roof as designed. According to the vehicle registration, these cars are only allowed to carry a maximum of 5 people, but they often carry more than the limit. |
 |
On June 7, in the Hang Tre - Tran Nhat Duat area, reporters recorded a group of 5 UAZs carrying more people than the prescribed number, including vehicle with license plate 29H-94955 carrying 7 passengers, vehicle 29H-94688 (left of photo) carrying 8 people (red arrow). |
 |
Even when carrying passengers on the road, the drivers of these vehicles drive very recklessly. At noon on June 7, 3 UAZ vehicles even surrounded and sandwiched a young man on a motorbike who was transporting goods in the middle (arrow). |
 |
After working with the inter-sectoral sector to inspect and handle UAZ vehicles operating on the road, the representative of the Traffic Inspectorate, Hanoi Department of Transport assessed that many vehicles on the road were carrying more passengers than the prescribed number of seats, the vehicles did not have windshields, sun and rain covers according to the design and technical inspection certificate; even when operating on the road, these vehicles stopped, picked up and dropped off passengers in a very messy manner, affecting traffic safety, aesthetics, and urban order... |
