The Minister of Public Security, General To Lam, said earlier in the group discussion session of the National Assembly on two projects of the Road Traffic Law (as amended) and the Law to guarantee the order and safety of road traffic, tomorrow 11/11.

According to him, the separation of the current Road Traffic Law into the two aforementioned laws has had the consent of the Government, as well as the leaders of the two ministries of Transport and Police (the two agencies are in charge of drafting. law).

The current situation of road insecurity is very great, “they only show that the road is visible and anyone can break.” Meanwhile, road safety is an important part of social order and security, the area under the responsibility of the Ministry of Public Security, so the Ministry “cannot be left out of maintaining road safety.”

According to two bills, in the field of driving tests and licensing for a long time, administered by the Ministry of Transport, here it can be transferred to the Ministry of Public Security. Responding to the question about the “fate” of driver training institutions, Minister To Lam said that the change in management agency did not “affect” these facilities, due to the test, driver training the car will socialize; all registry establishments are also socialized as a line of business. The Ministry of Public Security only controls the issuance of driver’s licenses and administers the driver’s license in accordance with the process, regulations and prevents fraud and fraud.

“All test facilities operate normally in accordance with the Road Traffic Safety and Order Law and the Vocational Education and Training Law,” Minister To Lam said.

In addition, he said, the current Road Traffic Law has some irrational points. For example, the law stipulates that with red lights, vehicles can stop and the green light can go out. However, the law also stipulates that a vehicle can run a red light. This makes service officers and soldiers “extremely tiring.”

“When the priority convoy passes, the traffic police must remain on the road, blocking all vehicles on the road with the green light on legally. Stopping a road like this is very dangerous for both the service force and the priority vehicle and the participants: family trafficking, ”said the Minister of Public Security.

According to him, foreign experiences should be studied, a control center should be built to capture the itinerary and turn on the green light when the convoy reaches the intersection with the traffic lights. “The priority should be like that, but letting the convoy go through the red light is very absurd,” he said.

Before thinking that it would be a waste to part with a law, The Minister of Public Security confirmed that dividing into two laws would save a lot. The first is without staff, new gadgets or even shortened.

Consequently, if the traffic police are assigned to ensure traffic order and safety, the traffic police will coordinate with other forces to improve the handling of the peak occasion. The Driver Management Department and Records Management Department do not have to be set up, they just need the Traffic Police Department to accept the task. Violations on the highway will also be handled through the application of science and technology, CCTV and sanctions at the exit point. Therefore, the apparatus and people on the road surface do not arise and will decrease when there are no traffic inspection forces working on the road.

“The Ministry of Transportation suggested that if we assign this field to the Ministry of Public Security, we ask the Ministry of Public Security to receive 20,000 traffic inspectors. I told them that the Government would not give me that objective,” General To Lam said. and he said that in no country in the world, the traffic police keep the car and then inspect the traffic, which is very overlapping.

Also speaking about the above content, Deputy Minister of Public Security Le Quy Vuong talk The problem of driving tests assigned to the police is not new, because the police used to take responsibility (from 1995 and before) and worked closely.

However, delegate Do Van Sinh said that separating the Road Traffic Law into two laws “is not good because traffic infrastructure and traffic safety are interrelated.”

Deputies Mai Thi Phuong Hoa also said that the cause of traffic accidents comes from the people, “it is necessary to find solutions for the people”, it is not necessary to separate the laws and change the state management agencies.

The Chairman of the National Assembly Legal Committee Hoang Thanh Tung wondered whether the transport sector currently has about 2,000 employees working in the field of driver’s licenses, whether this task is transferred to the police, the aforementioned force will be fired. Or change your job? “It is a problem that the government needs to assess the impact, come up with solutions and provide answers,” suggested Mr. Tung.

The Road Traffic Law (amended) and the Road Safety Guarantee Law are separated from the Road Traffic Law of 2008, presented for the first time to the National Assembly for comments at this meeting and will continue to be debated in the room on the afternoon of Nov. 16.

According to the Road Traffic Law of 2008, the traffic inspector has the right to stop the vehicle to handle 4 violations on the road. And the bill to ensure order and traffic safety is regulated only by the traffic police, which controls and handles violations of the law on order and traffic safety.

The traffic inspector is expected to be in charge of handling the infractions in accordance with the Road Traffic Law project (amended), including the handling of static infractions related to infrastructure, roads …
