Strengthening state management by law in the field of road traffic in Vietnam today - 10

To strengthen the implementation of traffic laws, the following tasks must be carried out:

Firstly, promote propaganda, dissemination, education and guidance on traffic laws.

Along with the development and improvement of the Traffic Law, the regular and extensive dissemination and education of Traffic Law among all classes of people, so that everyone can understand and strictly comply with it, must be given utmost importance. The dissemination and education of the law is one of the top priorities to gradually improve people's legal knowledge, enhance their capacity to properly and strictly implement the law, establish discipline, promote democracy, stabilize socio-politics, and build a rule-of-law state.

In recent years, we have paid attention to maintaining the propaganda, dissemination and education of traffic laws. It can be said that the legal awareness of some traffic participants has been significantly improved, but in general, legal awareness is still limited, and there are still many violations of traffic laws. Some people violate due to lack of understanding of traffic laws, but many people have understanding but poor compliance, deliberately violating regulations on ensuring traffic safety and order. Through analysis of cases of traffic law violations that have been inspected, detected and the errors causing traffic accidents in recent years, the rate of traffic participants is up to 80%, often due to drivers violating speed, avoiding overtaking, and using alcohol. Among the causes of accidents caused by traffic participants, the fault of the vehicle driver accounts for the majority and is the direct cause.

Therefore, one of the most important measures is to regularly propagate, disseminate and educate about traffic laws. This plays a very important role, contributing to raising people's knowledge and awareness of complying with traffic laws in order to control the increase in the number of deaths due to traffic accidents. When people's knowledge level has been raised, traffic infrastructure has been completed, and traffic vehicles have decreased, the goal of reducing traffic accidents will be achieved. However, due to people's awareness, habits and lifestyles, making the implementation of traffic laws a part of the life of each person requires time, and sometimes results will be seen in later generations. This means that this is a measure that must be implemented persistently, regularly and long-term.

The purpose of propaganda, dissemination and education of traffic law will have different levels, which can be divided into:

The first level is :

- Improve understanding of traffic laws.

- Forming confidence in the need for traffic laws.

- Gaining sympathy with the law on traffic safety

Second level:

- Forming a sense of respect for traffic laws.

- Forming an uncompromising attitude towards violations of traffic laws at the level of administrative sanctions and criminal offenses.

- Forming legal behavior in the field of traffic, customs and habits of conduct according to the provisions of traffic law.

- Forming positive behavior in GTDB activities.

In theory, we can clearly analyze and set out requirements for the entire community. In reality, the above levels can be formed in each residential area and each person in a community at a different time.

Currently, "we only hope to improve understanding of traffic safety regulations. After 10 or 20 years, if we persist in legal education, we will have a generation that meets the requirements of the second level" [7, p.51].

The dissemination, popularization and education of traffic laws must be researched to suit each target group. It is necessary to focus on students, teenagers and young people; people using motorbikes and scooters; people driving rudimentary vehicles; car drivers; officials and employees in agencies and enterprises, and people living along the road. There must be diverse, rich and practical content and forms of propaganda.

The following propaganda contents and forms have been and are bringing about clear results and need to be focused on and promoted in the coming time:

- Oral propaganda : This is a form in which the speaker directly tells the listener about the contents and regulations of the Traffic Law. The ultimate goal is to make the listener understand and act according to the propagandist's purpose. This form can be carried out anywhere, in any situation for one person or many listeners. The effectiveness of oral propaganda is not only assessed on the spot when listening, receiving

The plan after listening is that the listener will maintain long-term faith in the law on traffic. Propagandists can go to agencies and schools to talk about the law on traffic, talk or answer interviews on television and radio; use cars and motorbikes with loudspeakers to travel to disseminate the law on traffic.

To achieve effective oral communication, it is necessary to prepare practical, concise content that is suitable for the audience and a way of speaking that attracts the listener.

- Launching contests to learn about traffic law : can organize writing contests, traffic law questions and answers, picking democratic flowers, through the form of dramatization, or learning about traffic law through traffic safety film contests, etc., for the masses to participate, need to focus on subjects such as students, teenagers, cadres, civil servants, armed forces

The content of the questions may include: general regulations of traffic laws, traffic signs, traffic patterns, situations in resolving a traffic accident, handling traffic congestion, or stating a violation case with many different errors to request analysis and handling.

- Propaganda through mass media : Newspapers, television, and radio are three mass media that effectively serve the work of propaganda and education of traffic law.

Regarding the form of propaganda and education on traffic law: reporting news, articles reflecting the situation of compliance with traffic law, mentioning traffic accidents to analyze the causes, proposing preventive measures, opening regular traffic safety and order columns, answering interviews, taking quizzes, developing programs: radio stories, art performances on the topic of traffic law; dramatizing propaganda on traffic law such as "SV", "Seven colors of the rainbow", "Kaleidoscope", "9th hour", "Meeting at the weekend"; the program "For national security"; "Security and life"; "Traffic safety", etc., developing reports and skits reflecting, propagating and educating traffic law. Every year or two, periodically organize a national video festival on traffic order, the films will be broadcast on central or local television for propaganda.

- Building and organizing photo exhibitions : Building billboards and photos about traffic order for mobile exhibitions at bus stations, train stations, schools, residential areas, and other venues.

organize conferences, seminars or exhibitions for a certain period of time..., to attract viewers, thereby promoting and educating traffic laws. At the exhibition, questions about traffic laws can be prepared for viewers to answer by drawing lots, if correct, they will be given a prize that implies the meaning of traffic safety.

The exhibition can display paintings, photos, diagrams, statistical tables analyzing traffic accidents, and images of serious traffic accidents that have occurred. If possible, display exhibits of motorbikes and cars damaged by traffic accidents.

- Propaganda by slogans : Write slogans in large letters to propagate and remind people to comply with traffic laws on main streets, along routes, in agencies, schools, conferences, etc., such as: "Traffic safety is happiness for everyone"; "strictly comply with traffic laws"; "pay attention to road sections where accidents often occur".

- Seminars : Organize seminars to research and discuss solutions to ensure traffic safety and order such as: seminars on passenger car safety, seminars on preventing illegal racing, seminars on safe driving, etc.

- Launch, build and maintain emulation movements to ensure traffic safety and order such as "Good driving, safe driving" among drivers, "Self-managed road" movement; "All people participate in maintaining traffic safety and order" movement launched by the Vietnam Fatherland Front. In addition, there are many other forms of propaganda such as organizing law clubs, information and propaganda teams on traffic law; disseminating and educating about traffic law through traditional festivals; cultural activities, printing and distributing leaflets, brochures, announcements on village, commune and ward bulletins, launching competitions to compose paintings, photos, short stories, reports, memoirs, plays, songs about traffic safety and order for propaganda on mass media; compiling brief documents on traffic law for the masses to learn through activities of self-managed People's Groups and signing commitments to comply.

A very important content in the dissemination of traffic law education is to include traffic law in the main curriculum at all levels from preschool to high school, college, university and vocational schools. First of all, it is necessary to focus on teaching and learning traffic law at preschool, primary and secondary schools. Schools are also places that can be used as training and meeting venues to disseminate knowledge.

Law for the masses. The team of teachers of ethics and civic education are also capable propagandists and need to be promoted.

On the other hand, the authorities need to coordinate with local authorities to regularly launch emulation movements, attract all sectors, all levels, and all people to participate in maintaining traffic order and safety, encourage, propagate, and set examples of good and safe drivers, and traffic participants with high awareness of traffic law compliance. Organize competitions and conferences to honor those with outstanding achievements in participating in ensuring traffic order and safety, and preventing traffic accidents. These are also highly effective measures to propagate and educate traffic law that need to be maintained regularly and expanded to all units, agencies, and enterprises.

The above forms of propaganda, dissemination and legal education, in order to achieve high efficiency, must combine community education with education by subject; combine family education with school and society education; combine education with enforcement; must be carried out regularly and continuously, with specific plans and programs, must build a team of propagandists with enough enthusiasm, sufficient knowledge of traffic laws, and be exemplary in complying with traffic laws.

Second, strengthen coordination between competent state management agencies in the field of road traffic.

Although Article 69 of the 2001 Road Traffic Law specifically stipulates the responsibility of State management in the field of road traffic of competent agencies in the field of road traffic, in the current management practice, there is still a lack of coordination and harmony between agencies. Therefore, the issue here is to strengthen the coordination between competent agencies in State management in the field of road traffic to avoid overlapping management or pushing and avoiding, reducing the effectiveness of State management by law in the field of road traffic. Currently and in the following years, it is necessary to strengthen the coordination between State management agencies in the field of road traffic in the following directions:

- Establish a mechanism for close and synchronous coordination between the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Public Security on issues such as construction of traffic works, traffic diversion, and handling of violations of traffic laws: clearly defining the authority of the Traffic Police and Traffic Inspectorate.

- The Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Provincial People's Committees shall develop a coordination mechanism in organizing traffic and decentralizing management.

- The Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Transport, and the Ministry of Industry coordinate closely in managing the import of road vehicles. The types of vehicles imported are based on standards, techniques, and current road and bridge conditions.

- The Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Culture and Information, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, the Vietnam Fatherland Front and its member organizations coordinate in training, vocational training, propaganda, and dissemination of road traffic law education.

- The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of Transport coordinate synchronously in collecting fines for administrative violations in the field of road traffic, and unify the issuance and management of receipts and documents for collecting fines for administrative violations in road traffic.

Third, promote the building of a mass movement to enforce the law.

GTDB

The masses are a large, numerous force, present everywhere, at all times, in all situations.

routes, public transport areas, the participation of the masses in organizing the implementation of traffic laws will help competent authorities in the field of traffic to solve traffic problems in the fastest and most effective way, such as when the masses discover a traffic accident or traffic jam, they immediately report it to the traffic police so that this force can promptly be present to resolve the issue.

On May 19, 2000, the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front signed Joint Resolution No. 02/NQLT with the National Traffic Safety Committee to mobilize "All people to participate in ensuring traffic order and safety". Next, the National Traffic Safety Committee and the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union signed Joint Resolution No. 124/2001/NQLT on mobilizing young people to participate in ensuring traffic order and safety with the aim of raising awareness and compliance with traffic safety laws for young people, thereby affecting other classes in society. At the same time, the Ministry of Public Security and the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union also coordinated to implement Program No. 174 on maintaining traffic order and safety and preventing illegal racing in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Hai Phong, and Da Nang. It can be said that these campaigns have initially brought about many positive results. However, in the coming time, it is necessary to promote the following tasks:

- Establish a "Self-management Traffic Safety Committee" in communes, wards and towns. In residential areas, establish a self-management traffic safety team with the Head of the Front Committee as the head of the self-management team; the head of the village, hamlet, and neighborhood as the deputy head, plus a number of team members including police officers, the Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and a number of prestigious people, village elders and village chiefs.

- Conduct investigations into the situation of traffic participants; existing means of transport; traffic accident situation... in each residential area, neighborhood, hamlet, village, commune, ward, and town.

- Develop an action program to mobilize "All people to participate in ensuring traffic safety and order" in residential areas, taking the motto "Traffic safety is happiness for every family" with the goal of building "Residential areas ensuring traffic safety and order" and need to add the following contents to the conventions and village regulations of agencies, schools, and residential areas:

Propaganda and education in agencies, schools, clinics, organizations and people in residential areas about the law in general and traffic law in particular.

Raise public awareness of responsibility to work with the State to protect transport infrastructure.

Report and detect acts of groups and individuals violating traffic safety regulations.

- Each residential area, agency, and school establishes a "Legal Learning Club" so that everyone can participate in activities and learn about the law, including traffic law.

- In key traffic residential areas of large cities, it is necessary to coordinate with the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union to establish a "Youth Volunteer Team" to participate in ensuring traffic order and safety at intersections that often cause traffic jams. This team includes youth union members in residential areas, schools, and agencies. In each school, a "Youth Team to protect traffic order and safety at the school gate and the road to school" should be established.

- Expanding self-management forms in residential areas such as "Self-managed safe roads", "Self-managed safe bus stations", "Self-managed safe ferry terminals".

- Village chiefs, hamlet chiefs, neighborhood chiefs, and heads of self-governing residential groups organize households to sign commitments. The commitment includes: implementing conventions and village covenants, participating in learning to understand the law in general, and the law on road traffic in particular, not violating the law in general, and the law on road traffic in particular, not violating traffic safety corridors... with the goal of building "Traffic-safe residential areas", "Cultural households", "Advanced residential areas and excellent residential areas" in the campaign "All people unite to build a cultural life in residential areas".

- The Front Working Committee in residential areas, based on the September peak traffic safety action program and the Tet peak traffic safety month, coordinate with forces in residential areas to organize and launch a response to the implementation of the peak traffic safety month (note intersections where accidents often occur, markets, bus stations, school gates, level crossings, etc.).

- Build a "Traffic safety violation complaint box" in residential areas.

- Summarize three months, six months, September peak traffic safety month, Tet peak traffic safety month and summarize one year of ensuring traffic safety, thereby evaluating the advantages, disadvantages, causes of advantages and disadvantages, proposing effective solutions to successfully implement the movement "People participate in ensuring traffic safety and order".

Fourth, improve the effectiveness of implementing legal regulations on road traffic infrastructure.

The implementation of legal regulations on road traffic infrastructure to develop and upgrade road traffic infrastructure is an important and inevitable need that the State is interested in and focuses on directing. The road traffic infrastructure in our country has changed a lot, however, compared to other countries in the region and the world, the road traffic infrastructure in our country still has many limitations. Because our country's road system is still narrow, it is not possible to separate motorized traffic flows and rudimentary traffic flows on national highways and main roads. The intersections are still mainly at-grade intersections, even with railways. People living along the roads, including newly built roads, are developing as houses spread out. The use of roads and road safety corridors according to regulations is still a difficult problem...
