On the afternoon of March 14, the Lam Dong Provincial Traffic Police Department said that it had made a record of administrative violations against 2 drivers for the act of "overtaking vehicles in cases where overtaking is not allowed".
Previously, violation information was sent by people via Zalo messages from the Director of the Traffic Police Department, the Facebook page of the Traffic Police Department and the VNetraffic system.
After receiving it, functional forces quickly inspected, verified and made a record of handling according to regulations.
This is not just a story of handling two violations, but what is worth noting is that people directly participate in monitoring traffic order.
In the digital age, each smartphone can become a "magic eye" on the streets. With just a few seconds of recording, a violation can be detected and handled.
Many localities such as Hanoi and Ninh Binh have handled hundreds of traffic violations from people's reports.
During the recent Lunar New Year, from people's reports, many "overloaded" passenger cars were fined by traffic police.
In fact, the traffic police force, no matter how hard they try, can hardly be present on every road, at all times.
But millions of people are always present on the road, when people participate in supervision, it will certainly make a positive contribution to maintaining traffic order and safety.
Because when holding the steering wheel, everyone must understand that in addition to patrol forces and cold camera systems, there are also many phones silently recording violations.
A careless overtaking, a one-time overloading or passenger overloading can be immediately reflected. Therefore, every driver will adjust themselves, not daring to violate.
However, recording traffic violations also needs to be done properly. Do not film in a chasing style, causing unsafety or inciting conflict on the road.
More importantly, feedback needs to be sent through official channels to ensure authenticity and handle it according to legal procedures.
The community needs to realize that participation in traffic surveillance is not to "fool" each other, but it is a way to protect safety on the road together.
People actively participate in supervision, traffic laws are no longer just a story of functional forces, but become a common responsibility of the whole society.
And then, each phone is not only used for communication, but can also contribute to maintaining community safety.
