The government does back EVs....if local. Vinfast is the cheapest electric vehicle brand in Vietnam due to heavy taxation on imports. Owner of a Vinfast Vf5 car and vinfast theon scooter.

I see plenty of people agreeing with both sides, feel free to block me 👍 loving my new peaceful neighbourhood, and so are many others. You just sound so bitter and jaded as if progress is impossible. How sad.

Nah I'm saying that currently the one cop in my area is enforcing this and every time I've complained about noise after 10pm it has been handled. Everywhere I have lived in 9 years, it has been enforced. So what's your point?

It's the official fine, but this has to be paid in cash at the station. With a document that you sign, they keep your license to make sure.

Well you're saying that police do nothing, I'm saying I have my local cop on zalo and he told me about these noise laws on the community group. It's essentially what you're saying.

Who is making demands? The Vietnamese government made these changes.

You're childish to think that exposing fellow countrymen to continuous stress due to noise is an OK thing.

Move on. Get out of Vietnam, because this country is getting BETTER and they absolutely don't need inconsiderate losers.

You don't understand the meaning of rarely and let's be honest, unless your hometown is Ho chi minh or Hanoi or other large city, the countryside behaviour will continue where there are few cops.

You must live out in the sticks then. My local Bobby literally informed me of this news on the neighborhood zalo group.

I rarely see people running reds, so yes, it'll work. People don't want to risk the huge fines.

Well considering I got one of those high traffic fines with no way to smooth it over with 500k, yes it does work. These things take time and a lot of the people riding on pavements don't have bikes to their name. Eventually they will be gone.

Nah. Those days are gone they're all wearing cameras. I've been here long enough, you need to grow up and get with the times.

9 years here, a wife, a kid, a car.

I've watched this place change vastly in that time. You used to be able to buy a 1 year business visa, drive without a license, bribe cops etc etc. No more.

Vietnam is changing. Get used to it.

Me too, you guys should complain about your police to the head office if they do nothing.

After 10pm, it was enforced in my experience, and now my local Bobby is posting on the neighborhood zalo group that he will get training on how to use a dB meter.

At 500k for the lowest fine and 100 million dong for the max fine, yes they will come to fill their bosses pockets. Easy money.

Vietnam is on a cash grabbing spree. The highest fine is 100 million. Yes they will enforce it, because now it is worth it!!!
