"I Love Vietnam” is program about traffic safety and safe driving skills which has operated since 2004. The program has been continuously improved and updated in terms of form and content in order to bring stories and real images of the current traffic situation in Vietnam and useful traffic lessons. It helps viewers to increase their knowledge and skills to prevent accidents when in traffic, contributing to building a more civilized and safer traffic society.

In 2020, Honda Vietnam co-operated with National Traffic Safety Committee, Traffic Police Department - Ministry of Public Security and Vietnam Television to bring ILVN back with an all-new version named "Enjoy traffic." This is cartoon series focusing on preschool children from 3 to 5 years of age, who start cognitive development, love to explore the surrounding world and initially join traffic. "Enjoy traffic" revolving around three funny and lovely characters: Bi (Monkey) - Bo (Cat) - Ben (Chameleon) with three different personalities. Each episode is a lesson, a traffic story with much useful knowledge conveyed to children through the innocent, lively childhood perception of the three cartoon characters. Bi, Bo, Ben are like the companions of children together, exploring the world and creating the first perceptions and lessons about traffic for themselves. 

Accordingly, along with the broadcast on television, HVN will coordinate with the Ministry of Education and Training to pilot a direct training program in kindergartens in five provinces from the school year 2020-2021 so that children can have access to traffic knowledge in the easiest way  .
