Full-time delegate of the National Assembly Delegation of Nghe An province proposed to lower the age limit for drivers of motorbikes and mopeds.

On March 26 and 27, at the National Assembly House, under the chairmanship of National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue, the National Assembly Standing Committee held the 5th Conference of full-time National Assembly deputies to discuss 8 draft laws submitted to the National Assembly at the 7th Session of the 15th National Assembly, including: Draft Law on the Capital (amended); Draft Law on Organization of People's Courts (amended); Draft Law on Social Insurance (amended); Draft Law on Roads; Draft Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety; Draft Law on National Defense Industry, Security and Industrial Mobilization; Draft Law on Archives (amended) and Draft Law on amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Property Auction.

Speaking at this forum, Member of the Provincial Party Executive Committee, Deputy Head of the National Assembly Delegation of Nghe An Province Thai Thi An Chung proposed lowering the age of motorbike and scooter drivers in the direction of regulating "People 15 years of age or older are allowed to drive motorbikes".

Regarding the age of the driver, it is stipulated that people aged 16 and over are allowed to drive motorbikes in Clause 1, Article 58 of the draft Law on Inheritance of the provisions of the Law on Road Traffic Safety in 2008 and 2001. According to delegate Thai Thi An Chung, compared to 20 years ago, students have now changed a lot in terms of awareness and physical strength. In fact, most high school students today use motorbikes to go to school. Meanwhile, most 10th graders are only 15 years old, not yet 16 years old. On the other hand, according to the provisions of the Labor Code, the age to participate in labor relations is 15 years old.

Therefore, the delegate proposed to study and amend the regulations.“People 15 years of age or older are allowed to drive motorbikes”Along with the addition of regulations in Article 7 on legal education on road traffic order and safety, lowering the age of motorbike and scooter drivers is completely in line with voters' wishes.

Also at this forum, National Assembly Delegate Hoang Minh Hieu - Standing Member of the National Assembly's Law Committee gave comments on passenger rights in road passenger transport activities.

National Assembly Delegate Tran Nhat Minh gave comments on the draft Law on Organization of People's Courts, suggesting "not to regulate the first appointment and reappointment of People's Court Judges".
