Foreigners sanctioned for traffic safety violations in Vietnam’s Hoi An

James said that some young foreigners believed they would not face penalties from traffic police while using roads in Vietnam. The city’s traffic police have tightened street patrols as many foreigners disobey traffic safety regulations, according to Senior Lieutenant-Colonel Hoi. In addition to sanctioning foreigners who violate traffic safety regulations, police also penalize motorcycle-renting service providers who hand over motorbikes to the traffic violators.
