Hi All,

It seems that HCMC authorities are slowly improving the regulatory
mechanisms to control old two wheeler population -

This is in continuation of earlier discussion on control of private
vehicles in Vietnam -

It is interesting -  *"**it would be better not to set up regulations based
on the number of years a motorbike has been in use, but on the mileage. The
principle has been applied in many other countries already" -* I am not
sure if they mean mileage as "activity" or "KMT" or if such regulatory
mechanisms are used in developing countries. Generally its either
registration on age or restrictions based on street access.
