Yeah, after that guy who only had "a few beers" killed those two kids and their mother with his bike, the police are being much more serious about getting irresponsible and potentially murderous drunks off of the roads.

Well, the law is 0% alcohol whilst driving, if you feel you need to drink get a Grab or taxi.

How prevalent is this

I would like to clarify - Do you mean how prevalent are idiotic drunks on the roads, or how prevalent are the cops trying to stop drunks killing people?

Really?

Who was posting to your account that you were here in Vietnam (leaving) 7 months ago on April 6th, 2022?

Hello everyone,

I am closing this thread ! Drink driving remains one of the major causes of serious injury and fatal road accidents anywhere in the world. I don't even understand how one can worry about getting fined or how to get away with it...

Driving under the influence of alcohol is incredibly dangerous for yourself and others.

Regards,

Bhavna
