Nghe An strengthens traffic order and safety for students

Diverse forms of implementation

Nghe An province currently has 1,469 schools from kindergarten to high school. However, traffic violations by students, especially middle and high school students, are still common.

To solve this problem, agencies, departments and branches have implemented many measures to propagate and educate traffic safety laws at educational institutions, with many forms and rich content.

One of the effective forms of propaganda in 2024 is to organize mock trials. For example, at Nguyen Duc Mau High School (Quynh Luu), the District People's Procuracy coordinated with the authorities to organize a mock trial of the case "Violating regulations on road traffic participation". This case involved student Le Van H., grade 12, driving a motorbike while drinking alcohol and not having a driver's license, causing an accident that killed one person.

The mock trial helped students become aware of the serious consequences of traffic violations. The prosecutor emphasized the current situation of students participating in unsafe traffic, contributing to increased accidents and affecting local security and order. After the trial, the Procuracy requested the authorities to strictly handle violations and called on schools to strengthen traffic safety education for students.

Students participating in the program said that this activity is very practical, helping them understand the serious consequences of traffic violations, thereby raising their awareness of obeying the law when participating in traffic.

In addition to the mock trial, the Provincial Traffic Safety Committee also organized many propaganda programs at schools. One of the typical activities was the program held at Vinh University, with the participation of more than 500 students of Vinh University High School for the Gifted.

At the program, students are informed about legal regulations, how to prevent accidents and identify traffic violations. They are also instructed in safe driving skills and practice on model cars. The program not only helps students improve their knowledge of traffic safety but also equips them with practical skills to ensure safety when participating in traffic...

In particular, local traffic police also increased patrols and traffic control, promptly detecting and handling violations, especially those related to students.
