In Hanoi in particular and the whole country in general, the fact that students do not wear helmets when riding motorbikes; driving a vehicle with a cylinder capacity of over 50cc to school has caused many concerns for society. Although the authorities have increased propaganda, inspection and handling, the number of violations is still high.
On the morning of September 9, on Vu Trong Phung Street (Thanh Xuan Ward, Hanoi), the working group of Road Traffic Police Team No. 7 (CSGT) - Traffic Police Department, Hanoi City Police coordinated with Thanh Xuan Ward Police to inspect and handle cases of students violating traffic laws in the first days of the school year.
After more than 1 hour of performing the task, the working group discovered many cases of students not wearing helmets, driving over 50cc, carrying three...
For example, N.H.T (born in 2009, residing in Phung Khoang) was driving a motorbike 29P1-917.XX carrying a friend behind, both of them were not wearing helmets. When he discovered the police, the student swerved and fell onto the road.
Presenting to the authorities, N.H.T said that because he was in a hurry to go to school, he "forgot" to wear a helmet.
Or the case of N.M.D (student) discovered by the working group driving a vehicle over 50cc when he was not old enough to drive, not wearing a helmet, or even a license plate.
Immediately afterwards, the working group asked the student to contact the parents to work and requested the vehicle's license plate to be reattached.
A parent whose child violated the law when coming to work with the working group admitted that he was busy with work early and could not control his child's decision to take a motorbike to school. This parent promises to remind and manage more closely.
According to Lieutenant Colonel Vuong Dang Cuong - Captain of Road Traffic Police Team No. 7 (Traffic Police Department, Hanoi City Police, in fact, in recent times, the number of students violating the Road Traffic Law has decreased but there are still many dangerous behaviors such as going in the wrong direction, running red lights, not wearing helmets. The main causes come from students' low awareness of law compliance, parents' lax management, and even parents who directly violate the law, creating negative impacts on their children.
Hanoi Traffic Police recommend that schools should consider traffic safety education as a key content in training students; parents must be exemplary, strictly comply with the law, and not give their children vehicles when they are not qualified; the grassroots government should closely coordinate with functional units in management, supervision, and reminding.
"When families, schools and society work together, students' awareness of obeying traffic laws will be raised, contributing to building a safe and civilized traffic culture," Lieutenant Colonel Vuong Dang Cuong shared.
