According to Mr. Nguyen Vu Minh, a member of the squad, once a week, his team rides a motorbike towing a homemade magnetic device to collect nails and other sharp metal objects on the roads.
“We created this machine to help means of transport avoid their tires suddenly pierced, a cause of road accident. We also have a night-service team to fix flat motorbike tires for free. Therefore, this special squad would help people avoid the danger of sudden punctures, especially at night”, he said.
Minh also revealed that the magnetic motorbike has started operation since mid-June and it goes along various roads in Dong Xoai City to “search for” metal nails.
The project of “Dong Xoai SOS 173” squad holds practical meaning and it is strongly applauded by the locals.
