Public Security sector required to implement strict measures for traffic safety
An online conference on traffic safety in the first nine months of this year was held in Hanoi on October 2. Addressing the event, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc assigned the Ministry of Public Security to implement strict measures to crack down on traffic safety violations.
According to a report by Minister of Transport Dinh La Thang, in the first nine months of this year, traffic accidents have fallen at both of these intersections compared to the same period last year.
So far this year, there have been more than 16,400 accidents, 6,500 fatalities and nearly 15,000 injuries.
The transport ministry reported that overloaded trucks are still destroying national highways and roads.
Traffic congestion also remained unsolved at peak hours in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, especially in bad weather.
Speaking at the conference, Deputy Prime Minister (PM) Nguyen Xuan Phuc, who is also the Chairman of the National Traffic Safety Committee, said that the most successful result in the first 9 months of 2015 is the decrease in the number of accidents, deaths and injuries compared a year ago.
The Deputy PM noted that some local authorities are not taking responsibility for the problem, and corruption among traffic police is still a problem.

The Deputy PM asked the ministry to focus on overloaded trucks and find the source of illegal logos that help overloaded trucks pass checkpoints without being stopped.
He also stressed the importance of reviewing safety at level crossings and junctions to reduce accidents.
Traffic police nationwide have caught over 3 million violations this year and fined drivers 3 trillion VND (133 million USD). They have also confiscated over 29,500 cars and 377,400 motorbikes, along with 260,800 driving licences.
