'Wrongs that are ignored contribute to many hooligan acts'

The community strongly condemned and supported the plan to severely punish the act of violently beating people just because of a minor road accident. However, the debate has not cooled down when 'nine people, ten opinions' pointed out the reason why there are more and more thuggish drivers.

From Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City to Binh Duong , Binh Phuoc… there have been many cases of thug drivers beating people just because of traffic. Many readers of Tuoi Tre Online said they were very upset and uneasy about this.

The climax was when this incident just happened, information that the police force in some localities were resolutely handling and even temporarily detaining this person, while in another locality, the thug driver continued to assault other people.

Don't blame narrow roads for drivers being thugs and aggressively beating people.

Reader Le Pho believes that the conflict between motorbikes and cars on the road is now at a very tense level. Partly because cars take over the lanes, leaving motorbikes no way to go, and partly because the roads are crowded and the traffic is chaotic.

Furthermore, there is a lack of parking in the center of Ho Chi Minh City. On many streets (such as Truong Dinh, Pasteur, District 3), cars stop and park right on the motorbike lane. Many streets have solid lines prohibiting parking, but cars still park tightly, flash their warning lights and "freely stop for dozens of minutes during rush hour".

A reader with the alias Coc also believes that narrow roads, unreasonable traffic flow, unreasonable traffic lights, no parking lots, no parking lanes, poor traffic culture, and liking to jostle and cause traffic jams, then criticizing, cursing, and beating people who obstruct or remind them... are the causes.

Dong Buu account immediately said he "disagrees with the opinion that narrow roads create thug drivers".

According to this reader, this is a short-sighted, narrow-minded way of thinking, even justifying wrongdoing, blaming the road.

"Look at traffic in civilized countries with populations one and a half to twice as large as Vietnam's (like Japan for example), the roads are narrow but there is little or no hooliganism," reader Dong Buu wrote.

Because the wrong is not eliminated and punished

A reader with the account lac****@gmail.com immediately said that it all comes down to the driver's awareness and nature. "The road is narrow, but not many drivers become thugs, only a few individuals. Please stop making excuses for wrongdoings," wrote lac****@gmail.com.

The low-cost but highly effective solution is to quickly and severely punish those who commit hooliganism. The phenomenon of hooliganism in traffic will quickly decrease to zero, is what reader My Toan suggested.

Reader Hung DN said the root cause of hooliganism and brazen beatings over minor car accidents is education . If the educational environment in schools and families is not enough, there must be severe administrative sanctions, even imprisonment, to educate and deter the whole society.

Another response by Dung was approved by many readers on Tuoi Tre Online . Accordingly, Dung said that because mistakes are not punished, it leads to the above events and phenomena. Just stepping out on the street, you can immediately see the business encroaching on the sidewalk and the road.

Worse still, the homemade carts take up the entire road, making traffic jams worse and pedestrians stand still, breathing in the fumes. Isn't that frustrating?

"People often cite them as poor, sympathizing with them doing business. Who sympathizes with the thousands of people who are stressed on the road? Tired heads reduce productivity, and when they get home they are not comfortable with their families," reader Dung wrote.

Next are the trucks carrying bulky goods on the road. These trucks run dozens of times a day on the road, are dangerous to others, but are not handled, they just exist there.

Then aggressive pedestrians, who drive on the sidewalk, drive the wrong way, honk loudly... are not punished.

"Wrongdoing and bad things are not punished, and they are the ones who gain the upper hand on the road. This bad thing is very contagious, other people see that those who violate are fine, so why don't we violate? Then the number of violators increases, causing chaos," Dung confided.
