Maintaining the effectiveness of Decree 168, Hanoi Traffic Police strictly handle acts of lack of awareness

On Cuong Kien Street (Nam Tu Liem District, Hanoi ) during rush hour on the morning of March 14, despite the sign prohibiting going the wrong way, a number of people with very poor awareness still deliberately violated the law, endangering vehicles moving in accordance with the law. This is also one of the many causes leading to serious accidents.

Speaking to CAND Newspaper reporters, Major Hoang Van Binh (Deputy Captain of Traffic Police Team No. 6) said that this is a reality that the Hanoi Traffic Police force has to face because it is clear that besides the majority of people who obey the law, there will still be those who deliberately violate the law. Like this morning, the violators were fined by the working group of Traffic Police Team No. 6 for driving in the wrong direction. Accordingly, instead of having to go around the Me Tri overpass towards Cuong Kien Street and then turn onto the overpass to Mieu Dam, many motorbike drivers choose to go in the wrong direction for about 100m, from the Thang Long Boulevard service road to the overpass.

According to the reporter's records, this morning, the working group of Traffic Police Team No. 6 discovered and stopped vehicles to handle nearly 10 cases of going the wrong way at the Me Tri overpass area.

Captain Trinh Van Duong, officer of Traffic Police Team No. 6, made a record of a case of a motorbike driver going the wrong way.

Accordingly, for the "Going the wrong way" violation alone, violators will be fined 5 million VND and have 2 driving license points deducted. In addition, violators who commit other violations will be subject to additional penalties according to regulations.

The male PTA driver (born in 1998, from Phu Tho ; wearing a red helmet) in addition to violating the traffic law by driving in the wrong direction was also discovered by the traffic police team not to have a driver's license. The excuse he gave was that his driver's license had been revoked by the authorities for violating alcohol concentration.

For the above two errors, Mr. PTA will be fined 8 million VND.

According to Major Hoang Van Binh, people know very well and have a firm grasp of the traffic law prohibiting the act of going against traffic flow, but many people think that the traffic police will not handle it during rush hour because they are busy regulating and directing traffic. This is a wrong view. The capital's traffic police will strictly handle violators with the motto: No forbidden zones, no exceptions. With strict regulations of the law, with the consensus and support of public opinion, the Traffic Police Department of Hanoi City Police hopes that traffic participants will gradually form good habits such as: Stopping at red lights; not going against traffic flow; not overtaking recklessly; speeding; not driving after consuming alcohol...

At the O Cho Dua - Xa Dan intersection (Dong Da district, Hanoi), the working group of Traffic Police Team No. 3 (Traffic Police Department of Hanoi City Police) while on duty also discovered and handled many violations during rush hour. Most of the above cases were violations of running red lights, driving in the wrong lane...

Directly performing the task, Captain Nguyen Gia Long (officer of Traffic Police Team No. 3) said that every day, at the Xa Dan - O Cho Dua intersection, the unit always maintains 4-6 officers and soldiers to coordinate with the police of O Cho Dua and Nam Dong wards and the Traffic Inspectorate to maintain traffic safety in the area. "In addition to guiding vehicles to move safely, the functional forces focus on strictly handling violations that are the main causes of traffic congestion and accidents, while raising awareness of self-compliance of traffic participants", Captain Nguyen Gia Long informed.

Mr. HTĐ. (born in 2005, residing in Phu Xuyen, Hanoi) said that he was subjective and did not observe, so he ran the red light. "The act of running a red light will result in a fine of 5 million VND and a deduction of points from the driver's license. For me, this is a lesson for life and I promise not to repeat it," said Mr. D.

Decree 168 has created a positive effect, but to ensure long-term effectiveness, maintaining patrols, controls and handling of violations is extremely important. Maintaining the presence of functional forces on the road is essential, creating a deterrent for potential violations. At the same time, strictly handling violations also contributes to strengthening people's trust in the legal system, affirming that all violations will be handled fairly and strictly.
