Tens of thousands of traffic safety violations handled

PSNews - After one week (June 20-26) of implementing the Ministry of Public Security’s Plan on Checking Vehicles on Roads for Traffic Safety, the nationwide traffic police force handled 7,640 drivers violating blood alcohol concentration regulations and fined VND 30 billion for the offences.

Further, the traffic police fined 2,696 vehicles nearly VND 12 billion for their overload and illegally-extended bodyshells.

Traffic police teams working on roads in the districts of Binh Chanh and Cu Chi, Ho Chi Minh City, frequently detected and handled overloaded and oversized vehicles. Traffic police forces resolutely requested the drivers to unload freights and cut off the oversized parts of their trucks.

Tens of thousands of traffic safety violations handled -0
The MPS has directed traffic police at all four levels to detect and strictly handle traffic safety violations. 

In Hanoi, the traffic police handled 167 cases of overloading and oversizing, 485 drunk-driving cases and 135 speeding cases during the week. According to the Traffic Police Office of the Hanoi Municipal Police Department, some offenders did not cooperate with the on-duty police officers.

For instance, they did not hand documents on the vehicles and went away leaving their vehicles at the scene. The local traffic leadership decided to seal off the vehicles and take them to parks so as to deal with each case in accordance to the laws.

In Quang Binh province, the Traffic Police Office set up five task-force groups to handle traffic safety violations on roads and inland waterways. After the first week, the local traffic police detected more than 400 cases of traffic safety violations.  

On freeways, traffic police units sent various mobile teams to set up checkpoints or patrol along the roads around the clock. The traffic police teams handled dozens of traffic violations on highways from June 20-26.

The MPS has directed traffic police at all four levels to detect and strictly handle traffic safety violations, such as drunk-driving, overloading and oversizing, speeding and other traffic offences.

Traffic police also focus on the road sections or river sections that often see traffic offences and accidents.

The campaign will be conducted until the end of the year.
