Traffic police in Dong Ha City under Quang Tri Province, located in north-central Vietnam, have booked a 21-year-old woman for breaching traffic safety regulations as she did a wheelie on a local street.
The woman was identified as L.T.T.T., who resides in Ward 5 in the city, a police officer said on Wednesday.
A five-second-long video clip capturing the woman riding her scooter on Hung Vuong Street in Dong Ha and doing a wheelie, which means raising the front wheel off the ground and balancing on the back wheel, went viral on the Internet a few days ago.
Traffic police officers quickly identified the traffic violator in the clip and summoned her to a police station for questioning.
T. admitted that she did a wheelie on Thursday last week.
As per Vietnamese laws, T. faces a fine of VND6-8 million (US$252-336) for her violation.
A wave of traffic safety violations committed by young people has emerged in the city, said a representative of a traffic police team in Dong Ha.
The police officer also called on locals to send images or video clips capturing acts of breaking traffic safety rules to traffic police stations to minimize traffic accidents.
