On November 2, at Hong Duc University, the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) in coordination with the National Traffic Safety Committee and Honda Vietnam Company, the Motor Vehicle Insurance Fund - Vietnam Insurance Association organized the "Contest to learn about Road Traffic Law and safe motorcycle driving skills" in the North Central region in 2024.

Organizing Committee and participating teams

The competition attracted nearly 600 students from 5 teams from universities in the North Central region including: Hong Duc University; Thanh Hoa University of Culture, Sports and Tourism; Hanoi Medical University (Thanh Hoa campus); Thanh Hoa Industrial College and Vinh University. These are 5 excellent teams that went through qualifying rounds held at schools throughout the North Central region to participate in the regional competition.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the contest, Deputy Director of the Department of Political Education and Student Affairs Nguyen Xuan An Viet said: The issue of implementing solutions to ensure traffic order and safety is always an important task and top concern of each country, locality, school, family and the whole society.

Deputy Director of the Department of Political Education and Student Affairs Nguyen Xuan An Viet delivered the opening speech of the contest.

According to statistics from the National Traffic Safety Committee, every year traffic accidents involving motorbikes and scooters account for nearly 70% of all accidents. One of the main reasons for this alarming situation is low traffic awareness, many people do not really understand and thoroughly comply with the Road Traffic Law, and do not master the rules and skills to safely operate vehicles.

Therefore, the contest aims to raise awareness of compliance with the Road Traffic Law and safe motorbike driving skills for students, contributing to limiting accidents and reducing damage to people and property for students as well as the community.

Teams participating in the skit competition

Through the contest, the Deputy Director hopes that each student will form and further improve their awareness of obeying road traffic laws, cultural behavior when participating in traffic, have skills to safely drive motorbikes and scooters and will become active propagandists for friends, family and everyone in society.

The teams went through two rounds of competition with sections related to the theory of Road Traffic Law, skits on traffic safety and safe motorcycle driving practice. Not only participating in the competitions, students also learned and improved their knowledge to protect the environment by using green, environmentally friendly products. Representatives of the Vietnam Insurance Association also introduced regulations on compulsory civil liability insurance of motor vehicle owners when participating in traffic.

Students take the safe driving test

Along with that, to contribute to ensuring safety for students when participating in road traffic, on this occasion, Honda Vietnam Company also organized free motorcycle oil changes for students of Hong Duc University.

Through the contest, students were educated, raised awareness and skills on traffic safety and practiced safe motorcycle driving.

The organizing committee awarded the first prize to the Vinh University team.
