Traffic police have reported an increase in cases of people attempting to evade on-duty officers.

After collecting opinions from the ministries and sectors, the Ministry of Public Security has announced that it will maintain the absolute ban on alcohol consumption on those who drive vehicles.

Members of the National Assembly (NA) Standing Committee threw strong support behind an absolute ban on drink driving while debating the draft law on road traffic safety today.

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).

The Law on Preventing and Combating the Harmful Effects of Liquor and Beer will take effect early next month, imposing a blanket ban on drink driving.

The National Assembly (NA) today, June 14, passed a law on preventing and combating the harmful effects of liquor and beer, with 84.3% of NA deputies voting in favor of the legislation.

Multiple laws will be amended to impose harsher sanctions against drunk drivers, even though the National Assembly has failed to pass any regulations on penalties for this behavior.
