In Clause 1 Article 22 of the 2008 Road Traffic Law, there are provisions:

Article 22. Priority rights of a number of vehicles

1. The following vehicles have the priority right to go before other vehicles when passing intersections from any direction of traffic in the following order:

a/ Fire engines traveling on duty;

b/ Military vehicles and police vehicles on urgent duty; motorcades led by police cars;

c/ Ambulances on duty;

d/ Dike-watch vehicles, vehicles employed in overcoming natural disasters or epidemics or in a state of emergency as prescribed by law;

e/ Funeral vehicle processions.

Thus, according to the above regulations in Vietnam, the priority order to go before other vehicles at the intersection is as above.

In Clause 3 Article 23 of the 2008 Road Traffic Law, there are provisions:

3. Motor vehicles and special-use vehicles will be the first to embark a ferry boat, followed by rudimentary vehicles and people; when disembarking a ferry boat, people will come up first, then vehicles under the guidance of persons directing traffic.

Thus, when participating in traffic and the vehicle driver receives a priority signal, he must move according to the above regulations in Vietnam.

And in Decree 109/2009/ND-CP signals that vehicles have priority, there are regulations on priority vehicles includes:

- Signal of fire truck on duty

- Signal of military truck on emergency duty

- Signal of police vehicles on emergency duty

- Signal of way-directing police vehicles

- Signal of ambulance vehicles on emergency duty

- Signal of dike protection vehicles, vehicles on emergency duy as prescribed by law.

In what cases will ambulances not have priority in Vietnam?

Let me ask, it is known that ambulances will have priority, but is there an exception to this right? That is, are there any cases where ambulances do not have priority?

Pursuant to Clause 1 Article 22 of the 2008 Road Traffic Law stipulates as follows:

1. The following vehicles have the priority right to go before other vehicles when passing intersections from any direction of traffic in the following order:

a/ Fire engines traveling on duty;

b/ Military vehicles and police vehicles on urgent duty; motorcades led by police cars;

c/ Ambulances on duty;

d/ Dike-watch vehicles, vehicles employed in overcoming natural disasters or epidemics or in a state of emergency as prescribed by law;

e/ Funeral vehicle processions.

Thus, it can be seen that if an ambulance moves on the road but is not on duty, it will not have priority. Therefore, priority must be determined based on whether or not a task is being performed according to regulations in Vietnam.

Which car has priority to go last in Vietnam?

When participating in traffic, there will be vehicles that have priority, for example, the first position is fire trucks, followed by military and police vehicles. So, which car has the last priority?

Thus, compared to the above regulations in Vietnam, the vehicle with priority in the last order is the hearse.
