“Logistics is the lifeblood of the economy, the invisible network that runs the heartbeat of the nation. At the heart of this network are drivers.

In addition, Ms. Trinh Thu Ha, Deputy Chief of Office of the National Traffic Safety Committee shared more at the contest: “Traffic plays an important role in society and the daily life of every citizen. Each driver is not only a vehicle operator, but also contributes to protecting the lives and property of themselves and other traffic participants.

Organizing this contest is a practical activity that not only improves driving skills, but also contributes to building a safer and more civilized traffic community. Traffic safety has always been a top priority in the country's economic development policy. In recent years, the Vietnamese Government has issued many strategies and legal regulations to reduce traffic accidents and ensure safety for everyone when participating in traffic. However, if these strategies want to be effective, they require active participation from each individual, organization, and business. Therefore, the Driving Skills Contest is not only a competition to improve drivers' skills but also helps drivers, the pioneers in the field of transportation, spread the spirit of responsibility and help the community.
