Traffic accident caused by drunk driving

The Haunting Reality of Drunk Driving

We all know that alcohol is a common part of social gatherings and celebrations. However, even a single beer or a small glass of wine before driving can turn you into a deadly threat on the road.

Mr. Nguyen Van A (Cau Giay, Hanoi), a long-time truck driver, shares: “Our driving profession is inherently stressful. Sometimes, after a long day of deliveries, facing tired and impatient customers, it’s tempting to give in to peer pressure. Once, I had a few beers before driving home. Luckily, it was dark and the roads were empty, so I got home safely. But that experience scared me straight. I haven’t touched a drop of alcohol before driving since.”
