A car has been caught on a surveillance camera traveling in reverse along an expressway linking Da Nang and Quang Ngai.

A car runs in reverse along the Da Nang-Quang Ngai Expressway on August 4, 2022 in this screenshot taken from the footage.

Accordingly, at more than 10:00a.m on August 4 at km 123+300 on the Da Nang - Quang Ngai Expressway, a patrol team from the National Traffic Police Department, through a camera-caught footage, detected a 55 -year-old driver residing in Ho Chi Minh City driving a car in a reverse on the expressway.

Shortly after, the traffic police team stopped the violation committed by the driver.
