(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of July 1st, the first day of implementing Plan No. 69 of the National Traffic Safety Committee, which aims to penalize people riding motorcycles, motorbikes, and electric bicycles without helmets or wearing helmets incorrectly, or wearing helmets that are not helmets as stipulated in Decree No. 171/2013/ND-CP.
Observations along the streets of Vinh City show that many people still brazenly wear substandard helmets; many stalls selling helmets around the Vinh Market intersection, Cua Bac Market, etc., still openly display and offer low-quality helmets, despite being aware of the authorities' crackdown on fake and substandard helmets through the media.
PV Baonghean has captured the following images:
 |
| Observations made on the morning of July 1st showed that many residents of Vinh City were still using substandard helmets. |
 |
| Many students using electric bicycles on the road also fail to comply with the regulations on wearing helmets. |
 |
| Or if they do wear helmets, they're often of poor quality – a tactic some electric bike owners choose to avoid law enforcement. |
 |
| Despite traffic safety regulations, motorcycles still carry four people, people wear fake helmets, and some even... don't bother wearing helmets at all! |
 |
| No worries about the fake hat, they're too busy filming and taking pictures. |
 |
| Many stalls selling helmets continued to freely display and sell low-quality, cheap helmets on the first day of implementing Decree 171-2013-ND-CP. |
 |
| However, many people have sought to buy quality helmets to protect their own safety. |
