Traffic accidents reduced as awareness increases

Traffic order and safety assurance is the topic regularly and continuously focused on by the drastic participation of all levels, branches, and especially functional units. All is to mitigate the damage to humans and property caused by traffic accidents and to ensure the peace of life for all people. More than anyone, every person in traffic needs to raise their awareness to ensure safety for themselves and those on the road.

According to analysis from the functional industry, the main causes of traffic accidents come from traffic sense of responsibility. Driving in the way of swinging, speeding, careless passing, wrong lane driving, driving while being drunk and or intoxicated and so on is all from people’s sense of responsibility. In addition, there are also many cases of people driving a vehicle regardless of understanding or disregard the traffic laws. Along with that, it is impossible not to mention the responsibilities of the units and enterprises in the transport sector that have not been strictly managed or because of business pressure without paying attention to the matter of ensuring traffic safety.

Accident is something no one wants and in order to ensure traffic safety and order in more and more effective manner, it is necessary to solve the basis of all the arisen problems. In particular, investments into upgrade of the infrastructure system to ensure synchronization and ventilation, enhancement of inspection and control of vehicles, enhancement of the responsibility of functional units as well as transport enterprises among others are obvious. A very important matter that has been done regularly is promoting propaganda in all forms to raise awareness of people in traffic.

The peak dispatch to handle oversized and overloaded means of transport, to handle alcohol-related violations and illegal racing are essential but the most fundamental are still the sense of obeying the laws. Whenever awareness is raised and each person participating in traffic strictly obeys the traffic laws and respects the health and lives of themselves and the communities, must order and safety be ensured. All traffic will improve efficiency. Education to improve people's awareness in general and the sense of obeying the traffic laws in particular must be considered a common responsibility from families to schools and from agencies, units, and businesses to unions and the society.

Every year, on holidays, and Tet, the traffic density increases, the number of traffic accidents increases over the nation. Behind the tragic accidents is the pain and the burden of the family and society. Take actions to raise awareness anytime and anywhere to reduce the pain of traffic accidents and keep the peaceful life.
