A town police officer in the north-central Vietnamese province of Thanh Hoa has been temporarily suspended for talking on the phone while riding his motorcycle.
Junior Lieutenant Nguyen Thanh Hai, an officer of the town police unit, had been suspended for the offense, Lieutenant Colonel Mai Van Ha, chief of the traffic police division in Bim Son Town, confirmed on Tuesday.
According to Lt. Col. Ha, Hai was carrying out a patrol on April 15 when he noticed a container truck that refused to stop after being signaled to pull over by a Bim Son traffic officer.
Even though he is not responsible for enforcing traffic regulations, Hai decided to assist his traffic colleague by pursuing the truck on his motorbike and managed to get ahead of the vehicle.
