At 2:30 am January 16, police impounded 131 motorbikes after rounding up around 400 daredevil motorcyclists who blared horns, did wheelies and rode zigzaggedly at furious speeds on major streets in district 7.
The number of bikes detained is one of the largest ever.
These motorbikes gathered near the Kinh Te Bridge and stormed through Nguyen Huu Tho and other nearby streets.
One day before, police detained 16 out of about 1,000 motorbikes running at extremely high speeds into Binh Thanh district from neighboring Phu Nhuan District.
Rallying in large numbers to ride at fast speeds is illegal and is dubbed “di bao” in Vietnam, translated as “tempestuous rides”.
