Driving, speaking on phones.—VNS Photo Gia Lộc Viet Nam News Gia Lộc HCM CITY —  On May 31 there was a deadly accident in Hà Nội’s Bắc Từ Liêm. It happened because a truck driver was talking on his phone while driving and ran into a motorbike killing a pregnant woman and her four-year-old child on the spot. Speaking or texting while driving or riding motorbikes is a common sight in Việt Nam. While official figures are not available on the direct links between this behaviour and accidents, Uông Việt Dũng, deputy chief of the National Traffic Safety Committee’s secretariat, said such drivers are many times more likely to cause an accident as people not using phones. Nguyễn Ngọc Tường, deputy chief of the HCM City Traffic Safety Committee, speaking at the launch of the Asia Injury Prevention (AIP) Foundation’s ’Leave Your Phone Alone, or You Could Be Next’ campaign, said, “90 per cent of traffic accidents are caused of drivers’ low awareness.” Low … [Read more...] about Driving, speaking on phones a deadly combination on the street
