Hanoi police are hunting for the drivers of five cars which drove the entire length of Nhat Tan Bridge in the wrong way on April 6, including one state-owned blue-number plated vehicle.

The move came after a clip about the traffic violations was published on the internet by a driver named Viet Anh Phan.

Driver Viet Anh Phan said that at around 1 pm on April 6, while driving on the bridge, he had to avoid a Toyota Innova going in the opposite direction. Just some seconds after that, he met four consecutive cars all driving in the wrong direction, including one state-owned blue-number plated car.

Earlier in February this year, the National Traffic Safety Committee asked Hanoi police to investigate a state-owned blue number-plated car which was found travelling along a lane reserved for the bus rapid transit.

The case was detected after a clip showing the violation posted by a Facebook user went viral. The car bearing a blue-coloured license plate with the number 29A-016.46 was caught running at high speed on the wrong side of the bridge.
