Compared to the same period in 2024, the number of violations increased by over 14,600 (a 28.3% rise), and fines increased by over 41 billion VND (a 50.36% rise). Compared to the immediately preceding period, violations increased by 21,239 (46.46%), and fines increased by over 31 billion VND (33.8%).
The Traffic Police Department believes the increased enforcement has contributed to a decrease in traffic accidents. From 25/7 to 25/8, there were 1,398 accidents nationwide, resulting in 775 deaths and 933 injuries. Compared to the same period in 2024, this represents a decrease of 437 accidents (23.8%), 130 deaths (14.4%), and 319 injuries (25.5%).
The inspection campaign, from 25/7 to 25/8, was launched in response to loopholes in transport management and ineffective control and violation detection at ports and depots.
