The Traffic Police Department said that in the 3.5 hours on the evening of October 20, the national Traffic Police force tested the alcohol concentration of 65,207 drivers, detecting 2,808 violations, including 14 women.

This control is carried out under the order of the Director of the Traffic Police Department on the implementation of a special control of alcohol concentration for drivers participating in traffic within the same time frame and deployed simultaneously nationwide.

Specifically, from 7:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on October 20, the Traffic Police force of 34 localities controlled 65,207 drivers (1,948 passenger cars, 3,883 trucks, 13,422 cars, 44,704 motorbikes, 11 special-purpose cars, 1,239 rudimentary vehicles); detected and recorded 2,808 cases of alcohol concentration violations (1 passenger car, 17 trucks, 84 cars, 2,664 motorbikes, 42 rudimentary vehicles and other vehicles).

Through analysis of the age of violators, the Traffic Police Department said that violations are mainly among middle-aged people, from 35 to 55 years old.

Of these, violators under 18 years old accounted for 2.7% (75 cases), those from 18 to 35 years old accounted for 31.4% (881 cases); those from 36 to 55 years old accounted for 55.2% (1,550 cases), and those over 55 years old accounted for 10.8% (302 cases).

The Traffic Police Department continues to direct the Traffic Police force to regularly control alcohol concentrations at the same time nationwide until the habit of not driving after drinking alcohol is established.

This control will create nationwide synchronization to prevent violations and traffic accidents related to alcohol concentration.

In addition, local traffic police still organize to control alcohol concentration violations and handle them according to the functions and characteristics of the locality.
