Camera footage showed the driver was driving backwards amid busy traffic on the expressway on Sunday afternoon, before making a right turn.

Many cars had to slow down or switch to a different lanes to avoid the truck.

The police then looked for the truck and found it on Monday afternoon at a garage in the province’s Ham Thuan Nam District.

The male driver, 29, from the nearby Binh Dinh Province, has been summoned. He faces fines of VND16-18 million (US$682-767) and a license revoke for between five and seven months.

The Dau Giay – Phan Thiet Expressway, which runs 99 km through Dong Nai and Binh Thuan provinces, opened to traffic on April 29, linking with the HCMC – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway between HCMC and Dong Nai, and thus helps reduce travel time between HCMC to beach town Phan Thiet from five to two hours.

There are only three intersections now for drivers to enter and exit the expressway.

Four others are still under construction.

Early this month, a man was fined VND17 million (US$730) and had his license revoked for six months for driving on the wrong side on the expressway. He told the traffic police he had been “lost.”
