WATCH VIDEO:

On March 9, a video clip was circulated on social media recording a car with a license plate from Binh Thuan province driving in the wrong direction on the Phan Thiet - Dau Giay expressway, through Song Nhan commune, Cam My district, Dong Nai province.

Images from the dashcam show that at around 9:54 a.m. on March 8, this car was traveling in the wrong direction near the exit of the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway (towards Thong Nhat District, Dong Nai), endangering vehicles traveling in the correct lane.

Nguyen Truong Nam, the person who posted the video, said the car driving in the opposite direction repeatedly "flashed its lights" to ask for the right of way, forcing many other vehicles to swerve to avoid a collision. "This behavior not only disregards one's own life but also threatens the traffic safety of others," the driver shared.
