According to the report of the Office of the Ministry of Public Security, during the 9-day Lunar New Year holiday of At Ty 2025, there were 445 traffic accidents nationwide, killing 209 people and injuring 373 people. Compared to the same period of the Lunar New Year holiday of Giap Thin 2024, there were 258 fewer cases, 126 fewer deaths, and 232 fewer injuries.
Of which, there were 442 road traffic accidents, killing 207 people and injuring 372 people. Compared to the 9-day Tet holiday of Giap Thin 2024, there were 257 fewer accidents, 124 fewer deaths, and 232 fewer injuries.
There were 2 railway traffic accidents, killing 1 person and injuring 1 person. Compared to the 9-day Tet holiday of Giap Thin 2024, there was 1 less accident and 2 fewer deaths.
The Traffic Safety Committee assessed that traffic safety during the 9-day Lunar New Year holiday was basically ensured. Compared to the same period of the 2024 Lunar New Year holiday, traffic accident data decreased sharply in all three criteria of number of cases, number of deaths and number of injuries. In particular, violations of alcohol concentration regulations continued to decrease sharply compared to previous years.
One of the reasons for this result is that the Ministry of Public Security has strongly directed the Traffic Police and local Police to increase 100% of the number of personnel on duty and patrol, control and handle traffic safety violations, especially handling the topics of alcohol concentration, speed, and drugs throughout the Lunar New Year. These solutions have greatly contributed to reducing traffic accidents during the Tet holiday.
During the 9-day Lunar New Year holiday of At Ty 2025, local traffic police mobilized 25,556 working groups, with 32,783 patrols and controls, and 137,511 officers and soldiers organizing patrols and controls;
Accordingly, 55,842 cases of traffic safety violations were detected and handled, with fines of VND 172 billion 161 million; 2,985 cases had their driving licenses and professional certificates revoked, 7,035 driving licenses had points deducted; 428 cars and 20,782 motorbikes were temporarily detained. Compared to the same period of the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin in 2024, the number of fines decreased by 40,261 cases (although this year's holiday is 2 days longer).
Regarding handling violations of alcohol concentration, the police detected and handled 17,149 cases, compared to the same period of the Lunar New Year 2024, a decrease of 20,365 cases.
