The Ministry of Transport has just submitted to the Government a draft amendment proposing an increase in traffic fines.

Traffic police will go undercover in a bid to tackle illegal street motorbike racing, the HCM City Police Department has announced.

It may be illegal to use mobile phone when driving or riding a vehicle, according to the Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety being drafted by the Ministry of Public Security.

Up to 3,785 cases of drink driving have been handled in the first seven days of 2020, with total fines of more than VND12.5 billion ($539,400).

It has been nearly four years since Hanoi first rolled out its experimenting traffic enforcement camera network hoping to levy fines more accurately and effectively.

Among the traffic safety violations recorded between July 15 and 29, as many as 11,597 drivers nationwide were caught driving without a license or with a fake one, according to statistics from the Traffic Police Department.

 Many drivers in Hanoi would rather have their driving licences confiscated by police than pay fines after violating road rules, Giao thong (Transport) newspaper has reported.

 Hanoi launched its crackdown on pedestrians February 1, police issuing warnings in a city with scarce footpaths or marked crossings, for failing to follow regulations, while car drivers claimed the roads with impunity.

Hanoi’s traffic police began imposing fines on motorcycle drivers who carry children of over six years old without a helmet on the morning of April 8. While the parents were busy with the fines, their kids were taken to school by police officers.
