The traffic police may not be able to fine you for breaking a red light out of love, but you can be fined in other ways.
In this situation in Question asked yesterday, as the survey results above, up to 80% of readers think they weren’t penalized, and only a minority choose to be penalized for other misconduct. My opinion on this situation is slightly different from the majority.
First, giving way to an ambulance is a very welcome act, and if you’re on a one-lane road, you definitely shouldn’t be penalized, either emotionally or legally. But if you look closely, you can clearly see that you have committed another traffic violation.
Your situation occurs at the intersection of Ly Bon – Quang Trung – Hai Ba Trung, Thai Binh city, where I also pass frequently, and below is a photo showing how to divide the lane by lines, a photo by Google Maps taken recently .

Compared to photos with videos, it’s clear that you’re stopping in a lane that allows you to go straight and turn right. So even if there is no ambulance, you will still turn left at the end of the video. This means that you disobeyed the road markings, stopped in a straight line/turned right but turned left.
Therefore, in my opinion, the traffic police can punish you completely for not complying with road markings.
Talking a bit about giving way to emergency vehicles in general, not only in this situation, perhaps Vietnamese law should be adapted to the realities of traffic on the road.
The law stipulates that when meeting an ambulance, you must slow down, dodge or avoid the right side of the road to make way. There are two additional points here. One is to fix it so that it is pressed to the nearest left or right, not necessarily to the right. Regarding this rule, Germany has a pretty good hand rule for drivers to understand.
The second problem is to add, if giving way, the driver can cross the line, cross the red light stop line without being penalized…
What do you think about this?
