In Ha Tinh, in 1 hour on the 1st day of Tet, functional forces inspected 471 vehicles and discovered 3 drivers violating alcohol concentration.
This figure, considering the context of Tet - a time often associated with parties - shows a clear change in the awareness and behavior of traffic participants.
In previous years, the situation of "drinking alcohol and still driving" was once the leading cause of serious traffic accidents, especially during holidays and Tet.
Therefore, alcohol concentration testing right from the morning of the 1st day of Tet has a very clear meaning, the law is enforced continuously, there is no "vacant area" of time.
This contributes to eliminating the subjective mentality that during Tet, functional forces will relax inspections.
When people realize that violation handling is carried out fairly and strictly, self-discipline will become a safe choice.
The results showed that only a few violations among hundreds of vehicles inspected reflected the effectiveness of propaganda and patrol and control work.
This is not only the achievement of functional forces, but also the consensus of the community in building civilized traffic.
This progress also shows that people have proactively chosen safer options such as using taxis, technology cars, asking relatives to take them, or not drinking alcohol when driving.
Each citizen proactively complies with the law instead of coping psychology, which is a sign of an effective rule-of-law society.
Although the sharp decrease in the number of violations is a welcome sign, the ultimate goal is not only to "reduce", but to "no longer".
Because, just one violating driver can cause unpredictable consequences for many families, leaving long-term consequences for society.
Traffic civilization is not only reflected in compliance when there are checkpoints, but also in self-awareness even when there are no functional forces present.
The clear change during Tet this year shows the right direction in management and law enforcement on alcohol concentration regulations.
However, to achieve the goal of absolutely no one drinking alcohol and driving, it is necessary to continue to maintain inspection, promote awareness education, and at the same time build social standards, considering driving behavior after drinking alcohol and beer as unacceptable.
The awareness of law compliance becomes a habit, habit forms culture. At that time, traffic safety will no longer be a slogan, but a foundation for building a civilized society.
