Da Nang Driver Fined VND4m for Parking Car on Railway

Very creative.

On the afternoon of March 20, a locomotive was forced to wait for more than one hour at a railway station in Da Nang because of a car parked in the middle of the railway with its driver nowhere to be found, Zing reports. The car's license plate was registered in Quang Ninh Province.

Local residents and railway station employees tried to look for the driver without success. Only when a crane truck arrived did he show up and drove the vehicle out of the way. The incident happened near the intersection of Hai Phong and Hoang Hoa Tham street. The driver was fined VND4 million for the violation.

According to Nguyen Nhan, director of Da Nang railway station, because it is a short railway only used for locomotives and trains to turn around, it is often occupied by residents and vehicles. "Last year, we encountered a similar situation where we had to call the police for a crane truck to tow a car away after hours of searching for the driver," Nhan said.
