For a long time, the habit of drinking alcohol of many people is extremely dangerous, especially for those who drive vehicles participating in traffic because of the risk of causing accidents for themselves and others. Therefore, saying no to alcohol when participating in traffic, controlling speed, obeying traffic laws... are issues we pay attention to so that people can have a happy and safe Tet.
