Country gives drivers 1,500 kroner for stabbing each other

In Vietnam, the country's leadership is so tired of the bad traffic culture that they have introduced a tip line that rewards drivers with 1,500 DKK for gossiping.

Getting away with 1,500 kroner for reporting traffic violations? That's the new reality in Vietnam, where the authorities have introduced a scheme from January 1, 2025 that rewards citizens for reporting traffic violations.

The scheme allows citizens to receive up to 1,500 kroner for submitting evidence of traffic violations.

The amount corresponds to 10 percent of the fine for the offense in question, so there may be variations in the payouts to the whistleblower.

This is what Carscoops writes.

The initiative aims to improve road safety in Vietnam. Authorities plan to use the additional revenue from the stalls, as well as 30 percent of the revenue from license plate auctions, to fund measures that promote road safety.

The funds will be used, among other things, for the purchase of vehicles and equipment, the development of information systems, the maintenance of traffic databases, support for the investigation of traffic jams and the payment of night guards to regulate traffic.

In addition to the sticker system, Vietnam has introduced a number of other measures to improve road safety. These include increased surveillance with cameras, higher fines and stricter penalties for traffic violations.

For example, the fine for running a red light has increased from 2,000-3,000 kroner to 9,000-10,000 kroner.

Certain offenses, such as obstructing traffic controls, failing to secure cargo properly, or ignoring police instructions, are now punishable by fines that are 30 times higher than previously.

Drivers in Vietnam can now see when they have been ticketed via a smartphone app, VNeTraffic. The same app is used to report traffic violations to the police.

The whistleblower scheme gives citizens an incentive to report offences instead of simply ignoring them. However, a story that circulated on social media about a man who earned 10,000 kroner in one day by reporting offences has been dismissed.

Vietnam has chosen to introduce these measures to address the country's widespread traffic problems. According to local media, there are widespread problems with speeding, running red lights, driving in the opposite lane, reversing on highways and general reckless driving.
