Recorded at the alcohol concentration checkpoint on Binh Duong Boulevard by the National Highway 13 Traffic Police Station. Here, vehicles are guided to test alcohol concentration according to international experience. Accordingly, the driver follows the order of the traffic police, sits still in the car, lowers the glass and blows on the alcohol meter. If the meter indicates no alcohol concentration, the driver will continue driving. This method brings high efficiency, the number of drivers is checked, but it does not cause traffic jams and does not take much time for people. For cases of alcohol concentration violations, the traffic police force will make a record of handling and impound the vehicle according to regulations.
