So Vietnam just implemented a new law that fines heavily people who don’t comply by traffic lights. About 5 to 20 million dong, which is about 1-2 months of average wage here. This causes situation where even when there is an emergency situation, like an ambulance or a fire truck need passing through, many people just won’t move to let those cars passing by. Some comments on the internet even said they would rather let a stranger die than let their family hungry.

Yea, idk. I think it is malicious for sure. There are of course rules that stated if you disobey traffic rules in emergency situation, you won’t be fined, but it seems like many people won’t risk it or they just don’t know the rules that well. I personally would move for emergency vehicles so I’m not exactly thrilled with this.

Edit: grammar
