(ĐS&PL) – On the morning of November 6, in the corridors of the National Assembly, many deputies expressed their views on the incident where a girl was fatally hit by a group of motorcyclists while waiting at a red light in Hanoi.
In recent days, public opinion has once again been stirred after a group of reckless motorcyclists caused an accident at the Trần Hưng Đạo – Bà Triệu intersection (Hoàn Kiếm district, Hanoi), resulting in the death of a girl.
This is a persistent issue in the capital that has not been thoroughly addressed, characterized by reckless behavior, disregard for the law, and lack of respect for others’ lives.
National Assembly Deputy Tạ Văn Hạ, Deputy Head of the National Assembly’s Committee on Culture and Education, told Pháp luật TP.HCM newspaper that this incident highlights the inadequate responsibility of parents in educating their children about legal compliance.
Regarding solutions, Deputy Hạ emphasized the need for strict enforcement of the law, stating that existing regulations must be upheld. He suggested that harsher penalties, such as confiscating vehicles used improperly, are necessary to deter such behavior.
Deputy Hạ also pointed out the importance of holding those who provide vehicles accountable. Additionally, he stressed the need to enhance awareness in schools and improve education on traffic safety laws for students.
“This is well addressed at the primary and secondary school levels. However, it is especially crucial to strengthen legal education on traffic safety for high school students,” said Deputy Hạ.
“Adolescents are not yet fully mature, both mentally and physically, and they are often very energetic and prone to rebellion. Therefore, special attention and preventive measures are required to ensure they do not break the law, through increased supervision, guardianship, and school education,” Deputy Hạ emphasized.
National Assembly Deputy Phạm Khánh Phong Lan (Ho Chi Minh City delegation) expressed her condolences to the victim’s family through Lao động newspaper.
Deputy Phạm Khánh Phong Lan suggested that, in addition to breathalyzer tests to reduce traffic accidents, there should be a special task force to promptly handle and prevent illegal racing.
She also recommended educational measures, such as involving schools and enforcing strict discipline, with severe penalties for those caught in the act, including imprisonment for causing serious consequences. “Strict measures are necessary for effective deterrence,” she emphasized.
Meanwhile, National Assembly Deputy Nguyễn Thị Việt Nga, a member of the National Assembly’s Committee on Culture and Education, pointed out that the increasing number of traffic accidents is placing significant pressure on society.
One major cause of traffic accidents is illegal racing groups, particularly in major cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. This phenomenon is mostly prevalent among young people, some of whom are still in high school.
“The primary responsibility lies with the family. Parents cannot be absolved of responsibility for their adolescent children. Proper and strict management and education by parents and guardians can help reduce this issue,” said Deputy Nga.
Regarding illegal racing, Deputy Nguyễn Thị Việt Nga noted that many measures have been implemented but have not effectively eradicated the problem. Therefore, in addition to preventive measures from authorities and society, the most crucial factor is family management and education of children.
