Traffic police checkpoints have been established near major roundabouts along My Khe Beach and the coastal highway toward the Marble Mountains.
Inspection Highlights for Foreign Riders: - **Driving Licenses:** Foreigners must carry their national motorcycle license accompanied by a physical 1968 Convention International Driving Permit (IDP booklet) with Category A endorsement (for engines above 50cc), or a notarized Vietnamese license conversion. - **Helmets:** Helmets must be certified and securely fastened with the chin strap buckled. Riding unbuckled carries fines from 400,000 to 600,000 VND. - **Zero-Tolerance Alcohol Law:** Vietnam strictly enforces zero blood alcohol content (0.00% BAC). Driving with any detectable alcohol scent incurs severe fines starting at 6,000,000 VND alongside immediate 7-day vehicle impoundment.
Always pull over calmly if directed, remain polite, and present your vehicle registration blue card (Cavet) together with your driving credentials.
