The particularly serious accident occurred on the evening of March 3 on National Highway 4B, passing through Na Duong commune, causing a major shock to the local community.
Two motorbikes collided at night, the vehicle broke down, all four young people died, a painful outcome whose initial cause was identified as being related to speed and unsafe driving.
According to information from Lang Son Provincial Police, the incident occurred at about 10:10 PM at Km33+500 National Highway 4B. There were four people on two motorbikes, aged 15 to 20.
Images of the two deformed vehicles show that the impact force is very strong, which is unlikely to happen if the vehicles move at a moderate speed.
Reality over the years shows that speeding, reckless overtaking, and lack of situation handling skills are the leading causes of serious traffic accidents among teenagers.
At the age of 15–20, the general psychology is to like to express themselves, like thrills, and be easily influenced by peers.
Just one challenge, one minute of impulsiveness, the accelerator can be twisted to the fullest. But physics has no room for impulsivity.
The higher the speed, the lower the ability to control. When an incident occurs, the human body cannot withstand the strong impact.
Traffic accidents are not just the story of the driver. They leave an irreparable void in the family.
If they do not die, many cases of permanent disability become a mental and economic burden for families and society.
What is worth thinking about is that among the 4 victims, two are still students.
At this age, children should be fully equipped with safe traffic participation skills, managed by their families, reminded to go out at night, especially on high-risk national highways.
Giving cars to people who do not meet the conditions, lack of supervision is also an issue that needs to be frankly acknowledged.
The law on traffic order and safety has clearly stipulated the age, driver's license, and maximum speed for each type of vehicle and each route.
But the law only really works when each person consciously complies. No one can replace the consciousness of the driver in the decisive moment.
Teenagers have many ways to assert themselves, which are academic achievements, sports, volunteer activities, and professional skills.
The value of youth lies in dreams and efforts, not in the sound of exhaust pipes or meaningless racing.
Young people, please live with goals, choose good friends to play with, comply with traffic laws and cherish life.
Because behind the steering wheel is not only the road ahead, but also my own future.
