Vietnam has changed a commonly held international perception on the use of amber or yellow traffic lights. A fine of VND2 million (USD89.84) will be imposed on those running yellow traffic lights, a move expected to help enhance traffic obedience. I often see few people slow down and stop when the traffic light turns yellow, instead they speed up trying to get through before it turns red." "And is is very dangerous for drivers if the lights just suddenly change to yellow and red and they have to make an urgent brake." But we need to increase the fine for red light runners, because yellow and red are different."
