A video clip circulating on social media shows a convoy of four to five Porsche cars driving against traffic on the Noi Bai - Lao Cai highway. The incident occurred around 10:15 a.m. on March 19, near Van Yen District, Yen Bai Province.

The video shows several Porsche cars and a pickup truck forming a line while recklessly overtaking multiple vehicles moving in the same direction. The convoy blatantly crossed into the opposite lane despite a solid line marking, which prohibits lane changes.

One of the Porsche cars narrowly avoided a head-on collision with an oncoming vehicle, creating a highly dangerous situation.

Police investigate reckless driving

The Traffic Police Department under the Ministry of Public Security has confirmed that it is investigating the incident. A representative from Highway Traffic Police Team No. 1 stated that they are working to identify the vehicles and drivers involved.

The highway section where the incident occurred has clearly marked double solid lines to divide opposing lanes. According to Decree 168, drivers who cross solid lines are subject to fines ranging from $17 to $26 (400,000 - 600,000 VND). Additionally, those who drive in the wrong lane can face fines between $170 and $255 (4 - 6 million VND) and a deduction of 2 points on their driver’s license.

If the wrong-lane driving results in an accident, the fine increases to $850 - $935 (20 - 22 million VND), with 10 points deducted from the license. Driving against traffic on a highway carries a severe penalty of $1,275 - $1,700 (30 - 40 million VND) and a 10-point deduction.

Traffic authorities have urged witnesses or anyone with relevant information to cooperate with the investigation to ensure accountability and road safety.
