Drivers who break the law will face the consequences of their actions, sadly however in many of these accidents they are not able to keep their lives and realize their fault.

Thuan, who lives in District 12, Ho Chi Minh City, said: “I have to drive every day. So, I have sense of traffic safety. I am breadwinner in my family. If I get traffic accident, my family will face the misfortune. Driving drunk is unacceptable. I protest this bad behavior. When getting drunk, people don’t have a smart brain, so it is risky. I suggest the government to have strict solutions to prevent people drive when getting drunk. As a petroleum retailer, I think PVOIL has proved responsibility to the community and society. I like your message.”

“I have been working as a coach diver for more than 10 years. Every day, I have to carry a huge number of passengers. The first thing I am aware of protecting my life and my passengers’ lives. Therefore, I have not drunk a drop of wine and beer at work though I love drinking. I always drink when I don’t work and take taxi home. PVOIL’s message is necessary for customers who approach the stations for filling petroleum. It reminds everybody to drive with responsibility.” – Tai, a coach driver.

Lan Anh, who lives in Thu Duc District, Ho Chi Minh City said: “The standee caught my attention when I reach the petroleum station for filling gasoline. It is interesting and meaningful. There have been so many traffic accidents caused by drunk drivers recent days. I feel worried for the traffic situation in the country. I hope the government will pay close attention and have effective solutions to limit traffic accident. I highly appreciate PVOIL’s initiative to launch meaningful programme to support the community beside the main business. PVOIL launched this message timely.”
