Typically, the case of Mr. N.T (22 years old, living in Tan Binh district) was fined 4-6 million VND and deducted 4 points from his driver's license for the error of "failing to obey the order of the traffic signal" at the intersection of Dien Bien Phu - Xo Viet Nghe Tinh.

The sanctioned cases were surprised by the new fine, but were also aware of their violations. However, the question is whether the increased fine is really enough deterrent?

Recording the fact that after 3 days of Decree 168 taking effect, many people in Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City continues to violate. The image of a technology driver climbing on the side of the road to overcome a traffic jam on Hai Ba Trung Street (District 3) is a typical example.

As noted by Tuoi Tre Online, at some major intersections, people have obeyed red light stops more seriously, contributing to reducing congestion. However, on many other routes, violations such as running red lights, driving on sidewalks, and not wearing helmets are still common.

Some people also said that they did not understand the new regulations. Mr. Hung (living in Phu Nhuan district) shared that he had heard about the increase in fines, but many of his friends were still surprised because the decree was applied so quickly. This shows that the propaganda about traffic laws has not been really effective, has not reached a large number of people.

More notably, there is a case where a young man was fined millions for violating the "drama" of climbing the sidewalk, crossing red lights and violating alcohol concentration. This is an expensive lesson for those who take the law lightly and take traffic safety lightly. The act of climbing the sidewalk not only hinders pedestrians but also poses a potential risk of accidents. Passing a red light is an extremely dangerous behavior that can cause serious incidents. Violating the alcohol concentration is even more dangerous, because it directly affects the driver's ability to control the vehicle.

The images recorded on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City in the first days of 2025 shows an alarming situation. People still do not really comply with traffic laws, despite the high fines. This poses many challenges for functional forces and authorities at all levels

.

The propaganda and education of traffic law should be promoted, with many diverse forms and reaching all levels of people. It is necessary to clearly explain the changes in Decree 168, especially the fine for each violation. In addition, it is necessary to raise people's sense of self-compliance with the law, build a civilized and safe traffic culture.

The increase in fines is only part of an effort to ensure traffic order and safety. What is more important is the awareness and action of each person when participating in traffic. Only when each person voluntarily obeys the law and puts safety first, will the traffic situation really improve.
