Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh, who is also head of the committee, urged local people and international visitors to put an end to drunk driving. Binh said the government will implement stricter penalties to punish drivers whose blood alcohol content exceeds the permitted level. He requested competent agencies to boost efforts to apprehend violators and impose fines on them, saying that this move aims to protect the violating drivers themselves and the community as a whole.
