The current regulations, under Decree 100/2019/NĐ-CP which took effect on January 1, 2020, stipulated the fine ranging from VNĐ6-8 million ($237-317). The ministry said that reducing the fines stipulated in the decree for alcohol concentration levels to better align with the nature and severity of the violation. The fine for alcohol levels exceeding 80 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood or 0.4 milligrams per litre of breath remains at VNĐ30-40 million ($1,189-1,586). Specifically, it prohibited driving with any level of alcohol in the blood or breath. The Ministry of Health has been assigned to regulate the health conditions of drivers and operators of specialised motor vehicles and to establish guidelines for determining both blood alcohol levels and endogenous alcohol concentrations.
