Week 15

A girl, 20, is seen writing ‘I promise not to travel in the
wrong direction on a one-way street again’
50 times as a penalty slapped by local police
 for traffic violations in Ngu Hanh Son District,
Da Nang, a coastal city in
central Vietnam, on April 1, 2016.

Vietnam traffic offender skips fine by writing 50 lines

A 20-year-old was driving down a one-way street in the wrong direction, according to the Tuoi Tre News website. The BBC was re-reporting the story braces it’s a positive representation of the general issue of police violence. The police officers gave the nervous-looking driver the benefit of the doubt after she claimed not to have seen the one-way sign. They told her she could write "I promise not to travel in the wrong direction on a one-way street again" 50 times, or pay a fine. The women immediately got grateful on with her job. The city's traffic officers appear to have form in their relaxed approach. But this wasn’t the first time that this happened. There is a previous example of an offender being given the penalty of buying chewing gum from an elderly street vendor.

In my opinion it’s good to talk about good news but this behaviour is not really fair and if the police wouldn’t act close to the law, as they did, it may occurs more issues.
