The decision of Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee is a strong message about legal discipline and exemplary responsibility in the state apparatus.
This is a precise and correct approach, touching the "root" of legal compliance awareness, a key factor to sustainably reduce traffic accidents.
The reality over the years shows that traffic violations not only originate from people, but it is also worrying that there are still officials, civil servants, and party members who violate serious errors such as speeding, using alcohol and beer while driving, running red lights, and not complying with the orders of functional forces.
Therefore, Dak Lak placing responsibility on the shoulders of the head is a step showing progressive management thinking, not only handling the "root" of violating individuals, but also tracking down the "root" of management, education, reminding and control of agency and unit leaders.
If the head really values traffic discipline, regularly thoroughly grasps, inspects, and reminds, then it is difficult for subordinates to violate easily, disregarding the law.
It should be emphasized that this regulation does not replace the legal responsibility of violating individuals. Whoever violates, that person still has to be penalized according to the provisions of law. However, the responsibility of the head is the responsibility of managing people.
Another notable point in the direction of Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee is the strict prohibition of leaders of departments, branches, and localities from interfering in the process of handling traffic violations by functional forces, prohibiting the use of equipment emitting priority vehicle signals in violation of regulations.
This is a very important requirement, because if "forbidden zones" and "exceptions" still exist, the policy of tightening discipline risks being neutralized. The law only has deterrent power when applied fairly, regardless of position, position or relationship.
Assigning responsibility to the head if officials violate traffic laws is not "tightening it tightly", but tightening it to be correct, strict and to set an example.
Reducing traffic accidents cannot only rely on penalties, but must start from public service discipline and the exemplary role of cadres and civil servants.
