In 2018 (from December 16, 2017 to November 16, 2018), there were 287 traffic accidents in the province, killing 179 people and injuring 210 people. Compared to 2017, traffic accidents decreased by 4 cases, 5 deaths and 4 injuries. The main reasons were that violators lacked attention; drove in the wrong part of the road or lane; avoided, overtook and changed direction in the wrong way; used alcohol, beer...

Of which, violators aged from 18 to under 27 years old accounted for 38.7%; from 27 to 55 years old accounted for 30.2%, and men accounted for 70.1%.

With the participation of more than 100 students of Vinh University, the delegates expect that this workshop will contribute to improving the quality and effectiveness of traffic safety education and traffic culture in the educational environment; helping students raise awareness, set good examples, voluntarily comply with traffic laws and traffic safety ordinances as well as repel traffic violations among students.

Mr. Vo Minh Duc - Chief of Office of Provincial Traffic Safety Committee hopes that the School Board should pay more attention to the coordination with the functional departments to promote propaganda, dissemination and guidance of the Road Traffic Law for students. He especially hopes that the students attending this seminar will be active propagandists in ensuring traffic safety and order, contributing to the city to control and reduce traffic accidents to the lowest level.
