According to the reporter of Lao Dong Newspaper on November 11 and 12, at some high schools in Hac Thanh Ward (Thanh Hoa Province), many students still drive motorbikes with a cylinder capacity of over 50cc to school and participate in traffic on the routes.
At the gate of Ham Rong High School at around 10:30 a.m. on November 12, after school, many students drove motorbikes over 50cc from the schoolyard to the outside. Some students even take their friends on the road without wearing helmets.
A similar situation also occurred at the gate of Nguyen Trai High School (Hac Thanh Ward). At about 11:15 a.m. the same day, many students drove motorbikes away from school and joined the traffic on the streets.
In reality, the situation of students at high schools in Thanh Hoa province using motorbikes with large cylinder capacity to go to school is still quite common, not only in the inner city but also in many other localities.
Students who are not old enough to drive motorbikes over 50cc, do not even wear helmets or carry more people than the prescribed number, pose many potential risks to traffic safety.
