Don't be careless with the law

The situation of students violating the Road Traffic Law in Thanh Hoa is increasingly more numerous and more complicated. From the beginning of 2023 until now, through the coordination of armed patrols combined with professional patrols, the mobile police force, Thanh Hoa Provincial Police have coordinated with the police of districts, towns and cities to arrest and handle nearly 200 cases of young people who gather to drive motorbikes, zigzag, and disturb public order...

Typically, in early April 2023, through the surveillance camera system in Thanh Hoa City, the police force discovered two groups of young people regularly driving motorbikes, carrying more people than the prescribed number, not wearing helmets, running red lights, weaving, and swerving. The Mobile Police Department coordinated with Thanh Hoa City Police and related units to summon the families and young people to work, and fined both the violators and their parents for giving their children vehicles when they were not old enough to drive. The fines were widely reported as a deterrent, but immediately after that, there were still young people who disregarded the law and continued to violate it.

According to information from Thanh Hoa City Police, on April 29, 2023, through images from surveillance cameras on the road, the traffic police force investigated, made a record, and handled violations against 3 young men riding motorbikes who violated the Road Traffic Law and their relatives with a fine of 18.2 million VND for not wearing helmets, not having a driver's license, weaving on the road, and giving the vehicle to an unqualified person. Previously, when asked by the police force to stop the vehicle, these 3 subjects increased the speed and ran away, endangering other road users.

Traffic violations involving students are becoming more numerous, more complex and more reckless. If there are no effective measures to prevent this risk, it will create a class of people who disregard and disregard the law in the future. The number of nearly 400 students violating the law by riding a vehicle with a cylinder capacity exceeding the regulations to school, which the provincial police force discovered during the peak period of general inspection and control of students using prohibited objects and weapons in schools across the province on May 12, 2023, is a clear demonstration of the disregard for traffic laws by students and their parents.

Traffic patrols and inspections to handle violations among students are very necessary. However, we should not leave it to the authorities to patrol, control and handle the violations, but should proactively prevent this lawlessness by increasing the responsibility of each family and each school, to work with the authorities to effectively solve this dangerous disease.
