Major Vu Minh Phuong, Deputy Head of the Vinh City Traffic Police Team, said that all violations are strictly handled and there are no "forbidden zones" for any exceptional cases. Through patrol and control work, the Vinh City Traffic Police force has recorded many cases of underage teenagers driving motorbikes, swerving on the road, and many not wearing helmets because they think it's not necessary during Tet (Lunar New Year).

In the coming time, we will continue our operations to ensure the safety of people celebrating Tet," Major Phuong affirmed.
