Police in Thanh Hoa City have used fishing nets to catch racers and those driving bikes dangerously in a novel new approach to solving these problems. The measure has been approved by the Thanh Hoa Province Police Department and is applied only to drivers who illegally race, drive at excessive speeds, or zigzag on streets; not to those who commit normal traffic violations, Lieutenant Colonel My Duy Xuan, head of the city traffic police team, told Tuoi Tre yesterday.
He emphasized that the tactic is used only once racers or others driving dangerously do not stop their vehicles after they have been signaled to do so by traffic police officers.
“Upon finding any illegal activity, we throw the net onto the rear wheel of their vehicles and the net clings to the wheels, forcing the vehicles to stop.
“We have used fishing nets to seize 21 motorbike drivers at several major crossroads and on the section of National Highway 1A that runs through the city,” he said.
He also confirmed that this method of seizure has neither caused any injuries to the drivers seized nor led to any incidents involving others on the streets.
“After nearly a month of applying the tactic, we have yet to receive any complaints from the public,” he concluded.
