The Traffic Police Department (CSGT) of the Ministry of Public Security has just announced that from March 1, 2027, the CSGT force will deploy 12 driving practice tests on the road, focusing on assessing the ability to apply legal knowledge and driving skills in actual traffic conditions.
In particular, candidates will be evaluated for complying with traffic rules, observing, handling situations, keeping a safe distance from vehicles in front, changing lanes, overtaking vehicles and other necessary skills in the process of controlling vehicles on the road.
According to a representative of the Traffic Police Department, the innovation of the test content aims to assess the actual driving ability of learners, and at the same time form the habit of driving in accordance with regulations, proactively preventing dangers and ensuring safety for themselves and other traffic participants.
During the recent holidays, along with ensuring traffic order and safety, the traffic police force has handled cases of drivers driving vehicles without keeping a safe distance on the highway.
According to the Traffic Police Department, on highways, when vehicles in front slow down or brake suddenly, vehicle drivers sticking too close will not have enough time and distance to handle.
An initial collision can quickly form a chain, involving many vehicles. Chain collisions on the highway not only risk causing serious damage to life, health and property but also occupy the lane, causing prolonged traffic jams, affecting the journey of many people and increasing the risk of secondary accidents. Functional forces must increase personnel and vehicles to relieve traffic congestion from afar.
Inspection and handling not only aims to deter violators but also contributes to raising awareness, forming the habit of disciplined driving, proactively preventing accidents; reducing damage to life, health and property; limiting congestion due to incidents and accidents, thereby ensuring safe and smooth traffic on highways.
The Traffic Police force recommends that vehicle drivers must comply with traffic signs and regulations on safe distance; proactively increase the distance when it rains, the road is slippery, foggy, at night or when the vehicle density is high; do not follow and always observe from afar to promptly reduce speed when the traffic flow in front shows signs of moving slowly.
Keeping a safe distance is not only complying with the law but also keeping the necessary space to protect yourself and those involved in traffic.
From August 26 to August 30, the traffic police force discovered and handled about 20 drivers who violated safety distances on the highway. Among them, most violators were passenger car drivers.
