Decree 100 will be replaced by Decree 81/2026/ND-CP of March 26, 2026, which stipulates penalties for administrative violations in the field of railway traffic.

The Government has
decided to abolish Decree No. 100/2019/ND-CP, dated December 30, 2019, on
sanctions for administrative violations in the field of road and railway
traffic, especially for alcohol-related traffic violations, according to a
report by the Government News.

On March 26, the Government issued Decree 81/2026/ND-CP
stipulating penalties for administrative violations in the field of railway
traffic.

This Decree takes effect from May 15, 2026; repealing Decree
No. 100/2019/ND-CP dated December 30, 2019 stipulating penalties for
administrative violations in the field of road and railway traffic (amended and
supplemented by Decree No. 123/2021/ND-CP dated December 28, 2021 amending and
supplementing a number of articles of Decrees stipulating penalties for
administrative violations in the field of maritime; road and railway traffic;
civil aviation).

According to the Traffic Police Department under the
Ministry of Public Security, the abolition of Decree 100 does not mean stopping
handling traffic violations. It aims to separate the two specialized fields.

Accordingly, Decree 100/2019/ND-CP, along with the contents
amended and supplemented in Decree 123/2021/ND-CP, will expire.

Decree 100, effective from January 1, 2020 until May 15,
2026, enforced a strict “no drinking and driving” policy in Vietnam.
It significantly reduced drink-driving incidents and raised public awareness
about road safety.  Any detectable level
of alcohol in the blood or breath can result in sanctions.

It introduces heavy fines, license suspensions, and other
deterrent measures to curb drink-driving. The regulation has played a
significant role in raising public awareness, changing behavior, and improving
road safety nationwide.
