Traffic police in Dong Nai Province have seized 25 motorbikes with very large cylinder volumes after their drivers were caught speeding, zigzagging and aggressively honking on National Highway 1 last Saturday afternoon. The drivers said they were leading a national women’s cycling tournament. These vehicles were among a group of about 50 super motorbikes, each of which had a flag on it and were driven by people in athletic gear in the southern province’s Trang Bom District. The drivers drove in the wrong lane as well, and when traffic police appeared and signaled for them to stop, they sped away. After an intense chase, police finally seized 25 of the super bikes. A man calling himself Le Tu Hai, head of the An Giang Province Motor group, asked traffic police to overlook violations by the drivers, for the reason that they were on a mission. Hai said the group was on its way to Binh Thuan Province, where they would lead the National Open Women’s Cycling Tournament for the 14th An Giang Television Cup, which will kick off on July 8. Hai showed the police a letter of introduction from the An Giang Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism. However, police did not accept Hai’s explanation, and seized the driver’s licenses and papers related to 16 super bikes, and temporarily detained nine other bikes that did not have related driver’s licenses or required papers. “The group has failed to prove that they have been assigned to lead the national bicycle racing team. Even if they were assigned to do so, it is unacceptable for them to zigzag dangerously on the highway,” Colonel Ngo Van Chien, head of the Road and Railway Traffic Police Division of the Dong Nai Province Police Department, explained.
