Traffic police recorded over 53,000 violations during a four-day holiday, with 11,000 cases involving drivers violating alcohol concentration regulations.
On the first day of the 30/4-1/5 holiday, national traffic police fined over 2,000 drivers for alcohol violations, impounding 70 cars and 2,469 motorbikes.
According to the Traffic Police Department, the proposal to increase fine authority by 15 times does not raise the fine amounts for individual violations, but rather expands the power to issue on-the-spot sanctions to simplify procedures for citizens.
Traffic police on expressways from Ho Chi Minh City to Nha Trang used civilian cars equipped with recording devices to detect and fine 98 vehicles for violations within 24 hours, with total fines exceeding 500 million VND.
