(VOVworld) – Vietnam’s 2015 national traffic safety year will focus on tightening the control of transportation businesses and loading capacities. The aim is to reduce 5-10% the number of deaths caused by traffic accidents compared to 2014. Minister of Transport Dinh La Thang said: “Localities should increase patrols and inspections to strictly deal with traffic safety violations, particularly those that could cause an accident. Communication on traffic safety should also be increased along with improving the skills and qualifications of law enforcers.”

Chairman of the National Traffic Safety Committee, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc asked all localities to implement the national traffic safety year by promptly drafting and passing laws on traffic safety and order.
