On December 8, 2025, road traffic in Vietnam was severely affected by a series of serious accidents on highways and busy roads, while authorities in major cities — especially Hanoi — stepped up transport management, violation control, and traffic safety enforcement at the end of the year. These developments show that traffic is entering a peak period, requiring greater awareness and responsibility from traffic participants.
Highlights
Serious accident on the North-South Expressway (section through Quang Tri) — 5 people injured and dead, road blocked for many kilometers
At about 5:30 a.m. on December 8, at Km 635+450 in the North-South direction (Hoan Lao commune, Quang Tri), a collision occurred between two trucks/tractors. Consequences: 2 people died on the spot, 3 people were injured; the expressway was blocked, traffic blocked for many kilometers.

Traffic violations in Hanoi tightened - traffic management at the end of the year
Before the peak transportation season, the Traffic Police force in Hanoi deployed strict control of passenger cars, trucks, and contract vehicles to ensure traffic safety and order. Recently, they discovered and handled more than 1,000 violations — including carrying too many people, carrying goods in the passenger compartment, picking up and dropping off passengers in an unauthorized place, etc.

Many dangerous behaviors: reckless overtaking, driving in the wrong lane, speeding, are being "normalized" — high risk in urban areas and areas with a lot of traffic
A recent news report pointed out: although clearly violating traffic laws and posing a risk of serious accidents, many behaviors such as running red lights, driving in the wrong lane, and speeding are still common — but seem to have become "so familiar that it's normal" in the eyes of a part of the population. vnexpress.net
The Ministry of Public Security has put into use VNeTraffic — a smart traffic application that helps look up and check violations, supporting traffic participants to clearly understand information and violations (if any)
This application is expected to help people easily look up violation status, vehicle registration, vehicle documents, as well as support authorities to manage more effectively.

Analysis & comments
The accident on the North-South Expressway this morning is a clear warning: on the expressway — where vehicles travel at high speeds, with a high density of trucks — just a small mistake (not keeping enough distance, slow handling, not braking in time, lack of observation) can also cause serious consequences, with many casualties.
The fact that forces in Hanoi tightened traffic control at the end of the year reflects the reality: the volume of vehicles, passenger cars, and trucks has increased sharply — if not strictly managed, violations and accidents can easily arise. This is a time when traffic law compliance needs to be higher than ever.
Despite regulations and control systems, “normalized” traffic violations such as reckless overtaking, driving in the wrong lane, etc. are still common — showing that education and community awareness are still decisive factors. Not only fines — but also a need to change long-term perceptions.
The launch of the VNeTraffic application is a step forward in modern, transparent traffic management — if people actively use it, it will help reduce violations, support quick, transparent handling, and create a higher sense of responsibility.
Recommendations
When driving on the highway — keep a safe distance, obey the speed limit, increase observation — especially when near large trucks or traveling in the early morning/night; avoid following too closely or overtaking too quickly.
For passenger cars and contract cars, drivers must comply with regulations: do not carry more passengers, do not carry illegal goods in the passenger compartment, stop and pick up and drop off passengers at the right places — to avoid being prosecuted and endangering passengers.
Traffic participants — both cars and motorbikes — should be more aware, limit violations and respond to dangerous behaviors (reckless overtaking, driving in the wrong lane). For road users, they should use lookup applications to check vehicles and avoid buying/renting vehicles that violate the law.
Authorities need to maintain control and patrol — especially on highways and large urban areas — while stepping up propaganda and raising people's awareness of traffic laws and safety.
