Yesterday, in the Lao Dong Newspaper, there was a very interesting headline: "Traffic police "waving" their arms tiredly only discovered 2 people with high levels of alcohol" .
The article tells the story of the Working Group of Road Traffic Police Team No. 10, Traffic Police Department of Hanoi City Police implementing a plan to check alcohol concentration at a traffic intersection in the city.
And the positive sign is that after 30 minutes of testing, mainly motorbike drivers with more than 40 people, but only 2 people had an alcohol concentration of less than 0.25mlg/liter of breath. Previously, this was the group of subjects with the highest rate of alcohol violations .
More good news, according to Captain Nguyen Anh Duc, officer of Road Traffic Police Team No. 10, recently, the number of people violating alcohol concentration when participating in traffic has decreased sharply, especially for vehicle drivers. car.
This shows that the new Road Traffic Safety Law, with the slogan "If you drink alcohol, don't drive" is gradually coming to life, first of all in the capital Hanoi.
In particular, the Government has drastically implemented strong measures such as increased inspections, strict penalties, and extensive propaganda and education to raise people's awareness of the harmful effects of driving while impaired. Blood alcohol concentration... has been effective in recent times.
Is this change the result of recent strong campaigns, or is it just temporary due to fear of heavy fines?
How to maintain and promote the effectiveness of obeying traffic laws in the long term, so that it does not become a fleeting movement but a cultural way of life in the community?
The answer lies in building a sustainable transportation culture. This requires not only the determination of the authorities in maintaining inspection and supervision measures, but also the active cooperation from the community.
Propaganda and education on traffic awareness must be carried out continuously and extensively, especially in the family and school environment, so that each person and each succeeding generation is clearly aware of their responsibilities. yourself when participating in traffic.
Finally, a safe and civilized traffic culture does not stop at compliance with alcohol regulations but also includes respect for other regulations such as speed, lanes, and signals. traffic. This comprehensive compliance is a solid foundation for building a safe society, where every trip is a peaceful journey.
The fact that the traffic police "waved" their tired hands but only detected two cases of alcohol violation is a proud example. But to maintain and have more examples like this throughout the country, we need to continue making continuous efforts to turn compliance with traffic laws into a habit, a cultural beauty of each person. people!
