HCMC – Members of the National Assembly (NA) Standing Committee threw strong support behind an absolute ban on drink driving while debating the draft law on road traffic safety today.
The NA Standing Committee is continuing to gather feedback and discuss revisions to the law on road traffic safety.
The proposal to prohibit drink driving garnered significant attention from committee members, with four members expressing their backing for the absolute ban on driving under the influence of alcohol.
They noted that the ban has received widespread support from residents, contributing to fostering a culture of abstaining from driving while on the road and reducing accidents caused by drink driving.
Hoang Thanh Tung, head of the NA Committee on Legal Affairs, emphasized the necessity of zero tolerance on drink driving.
However, he urged for additional scientific evidence before presenting the issue for further discussion in the National Assembly.
