 Tuoi Tre (Yotuh) newspaper reporters have detected many cases of vehicles carrying bulky goods on the street, which potentially causes dangers to travelers.
Those kinds of oversized cargoes have recently made headlines in Vietnam after a nine-year-old boy and a woman in Hanoi died having their necks cut by steel sheets carried on the street.
The steel sheets were transported on a cyclo and a cart towed by a motorbike, respectively, in the two cases. Both of the accidents happened last week.
Arguments have erupted after the incidents, with many saying that the Vietnamese laws on the transport of such bulky items have yet to be well enforced.
