CaliToday (13/10/2025): In a decisive move to curb traffic accidents and restore order to its bustling streets, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department has initiated a large-scale, intensive campaign targeting drivers under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Operating under the firm principle of "no forbidden zones, no exceptions," the city-wide operation aims to send a clear message that dangerous driving behavior will not be tolerated.
The campaign, which sees an increased presence of traffic police across all districts, involves comprehensive checkpoints at key intersections and major thoroughfares, particularly during evening and late-night hours. Officers are equipped with modern breathalyzers and drug-testing kits to ensure swift and accurate screening of drivers.
A spokesperson for the Ho Chi Minh City Police stated, "Our primary goal is the safety and well-being of our citizens. Every life lost or injury sustained due to impaired driving is a preventable tragedy. This crackdown is not just about issuing penalties; it's about fundamentally changing driver behavior and fostering a culture of responsibility on our roads."
This "zero tolerance" approach means that every driver, regardless of their position or vehicle, will be subject to the same rigorous checks and legal consequences if found in violation. The initiative is a direct response to growing public concern over road safety and a number of serious accidents linked to driving under the influence. By reinforcing strict enforcement, authorities are determined to prevent future incidents and ensure that the city's streets are safer for everyone, from pedestrians to vehicle operators. The campaign is expected to run for an extended period to ensure a lasting impact on traffic order and safety.
