je reve ou quoi??? Enfin...les vietnamiens apprecieront...
Toujours est il que le service de delivrance des permis de conduire devra se doter de tous les instruments de mesure "taille et poids" pour les candidats devant passer le permis.
Tu ne reves pas Bebe, c'est le Viet Nam.
Quelques uns se souviennent-ils du projet de loi d'interdire les 3 roues "non-sortis d'usines"?
Il y a eu un tolle general, - on s'est appercu que la societe (en quasi monopole) chargee de produire les nouveaux vehicules conformes ne pourrait pas sortir les nouveaux engins aux prix et aux quantites necessaires.
- on n'en parle plus pour l'instant.
Il n'empeche que l'on peut se demander par quel processus se font les lois nouvelles ici. Et l'on ne s'en prive pas.
NOTA
Le VN n'a pas encore impose le gilet fluo! La France conserve son avance dans les mesures autoritaires et trendy.

Health ministry sets tough new standards for driving
(17-10-2008)
HA NOI — The Ministry of Health (MoH) has released a new set of health standards setting rules for vehicle users nationwide.
The Decree 33/2008 says that those who are under 1.45m tall and weighing under 40kg will no longer be allowed to drive motorbikes, and car drivers must now be at least 1.5m.
It also sets new standards for professional drivers, saying they must be at least 1.62m tall to get a driving licence.
Tran Son, representative of the Ministry of Public Security, said that drivers not meeting the new standards would have their licences revoked, to ensure the safety of road users.
All drivers would be weighed and measured when their licences expire in order to get a new one, he said.
Tran Quy Tuong, vice director of the MoH Treatment Department, said the new criteria were based on the development of a healthy society. "The regulation is suitable for Vietnamese people and meets international regulations," said Tuong.
Le Danh Tuyen, vice director of the National Nutrition Institute said that the average height of Vietnamese has been increasing in recent years. Statistics from 2000 showed that Vietnamese men are now an average 1.62m tall and weighed 52kg. Women now reach an average 1.53m tall and 46kg.
"Based on the average, people who don’t meet the height and weight requirements are considered not healthy enough to control vehicles, which is a danger for both drivers and pedestrians," said Ly Ngoc Kinh, director of the MoH Treatment Department.
Dang Tran Mui, vice director of the Centre for Science Research and Training under the Ha Noi Department of Transport, said that people should look at other forms of transport if they do not meet the new standards.
A new health certificate is required to get a driving licence that stipulates height and weight checks.
However, enforcement may be difficult, as police are not equipped with measuring tapes and scales.
"I don’t think this is a proper regulation. People whose bodies are rather small don’t always drive carelessly. I wonder how police will know who is under 40kg to fine them," said Nguyen Van Minh, resident of Linh Dam urban area in Hoang Mai District of Ha Noi.
Nguyen Hong Ha, manager of a transport project to help the disabled said that the adjustment does not take into account amputees and other disabilities. She also said that vehicles can be modified for the disabled to drive them, which does not necessarily make short people dangerous drivers. The MoH seems to have arbitrarily made the decision, she said.
Vo Van Van, deputy director of HCM City’s road traffic police bureau, said no statistics were available on road accidents caused by short people, making it difficult to assess the impact of the new regulations. — VNS
