Self-made tricycles are banned from traveling on Hanoi’s streets, except for those of war invalids or disabled people. However, hundreds of tricycles driven by young men are still used to transport over-sized goods.

The Hanoi Transport Police Bureau said that there are 182 tricycles

registered in Hanoi, which are owned by war invalids and disabled people.

But there are hundreds of unregistered tricycles in circulations.

They are used to transport over-sized and over-weight goods.

Hanoi transport police have been instructed to punish unregistered tricycles.

From April 15 to 25, the Hanoi Transport Police Bureau fined

179 illegal tricycles and seized 167 vehicles.

However, tricycles still run publicly.

A traffic police officer at the Thai Ha - Chua Boc – Son Tay intersection said,

that they didn’t punish these vehicle drivers because

the campaign to control illegal tricycles finished.

Some police officers said that many people pose themselves

as war invalids or disabled people to use tricycles.

In the last several years, hundreds of self-made tricycles have

been captured at this parking lot in My Dinh, Hanoi.

Many tricycles have been here since 2009.

They are downgrading day by day. Many of them have become scrap iron.
