On 14th November, footage showing a truck driving closely behind a bicycle surfaced online and garnered a lot of attention from netizens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

24-year-old Nguy\u1ec5n V\u0103n Duy Ho\u00e0ng was driving a sand truck along <\/span>Kr\u00f4ng N\u00f4<\/span> pass at 8PM on 9th November when he spotted a 8-year-old boy riding a bicycle with all his might.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though the boy was wearing a flashlight on his head, it was not enough to light up the pitch-dark road in front of him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ho\u00e0ng decided to slow down and turned on his truck\u2019s headlights to light up the way for the \u00ffoung cyclist.<\/span><\/p>\n

The boy knew that he was being helped and was very appreciative<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u201cThis road is very steep and empty most of the time. I was afraid that he would get into trouble so I turned on the headlights over the 8KM length of the road in about 20 minutes,\u201d Ho\u00e0ng told <\/span>D\u00e2n Tr\u00ed<\/span><\/a><\/em>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Since there was zero communication between these two commuters, many people in the boy\u2019s situation might have thought that they were being stalked.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the boy quickly realized that he was being helped and tried to ride faster.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the cyclist reached his home, he waved at the driver as a gesture of thankfulness.<\/span><\/p>\n

After his story made its way onto the Internet, Ho\u00e0ng earned tremendous praise from netizens for his heart-warming gesture.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOther drivers would have done the same,\u201d Ho\u00e0ng humbly admitted. \u201cI was very happy to see the boy get home safely.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He sets a great example of road courtesy<\/strong><\/h3>\n
