The handling is also carried out by the traffic police in public uniform.

''The establishment of patrol teams to control traffic police in disguise combined with public announcements as planned is due to the fact that many young people in the area do not wear helmets, and drive motorbikes in a zigzag manner, causing traffic safety problems. They often run away if they detect people in uniform. In fact, many cases of traffic safety violations that we detect and handle are also related to drugs and theft...'', Captain Le Dang Khoa said.
