Seriously deal with ridiculous things on social networks

As Thanh Nien reported, last weekend, driver NHGB (living in Tien Giang ) was fined by the Highway Traffic Control Patrol Team No. 7 (Traffic Police Department, Ministry of Public Security) after Mr. B. "showed off" on social media a clip of him driving at 210 km/h on the My Thuan - Can Tho highway. In addition to determining that Mr. B. was driving at a speed exceeding the speed limit (the maximum speed allowed on the My Thuan - Can Tho highway is 90 km/h), the traffic police also determined that Mr. B. was using a driver's license that had expired since February 2015.

Stories of people posting clips on social media about acts that defy traffic safety regulations like Mr. B's have appeared quite a lot in recent times. At the end of December 2023, Ms. NTDM was also fined after posting a clip on social media recording a car driving at 140 km/h in a residential area in Thu Duc City (HCMC) where the maximum speed limit is only 60 km/h.

Recently, on January 6, Ho Chi Minh City Police announced the completion of the investigation and transferred the case file to propose prosecuting Ms. Tran Thi Ngoc Trinh (model Ngoc Trinh) for the crime of "disturbing public order" related to organizing filming, staging and posting clips of "letting go of the motorcycle handlebars" on social media accounts with a large number of followers, causing negative impacts and adversely affecting security and order in cyberspace.

"Do they know they're wrong?"

Many readers of Thanh Nien Newspaper asked: "Do they know they are wrong when they perform acts that defy traffic safety regulations like that?". Minh Nghia added: "If they know, but still do it, and even comfortably post it on social networks for the whole village to see, then that is the most worrying thing."

Most of the BĐs believe that in addition to administrative sanctions such as license revocation, fines, vehicle impoundment, etc., there should be stronger sanctions. BĐs Lai Quang Tan stated: "In the case of an expired driver's license, it must be considered an act of driving without a driver's license. It is recommended that the Traffic Police notify all testing centers to permanently ban them from taking the driver's license test." Agreeing, BĐs Nguyen Quoc Huy said: "There must be heavy penalties to stop the habit of showing off and disregarding the law." BĐs Huynh Chanh also suggested "it is necessary to research and issue a form of punishment that is to confiscate the violating vehicle so that they will be afraid."

Commenting on the recent appearance of "ridiculous acts" on social networks related to racing, car modification, car testing..., BĐ Truong Luu analyzed: "It shows that a part of the people are still not fully aware of illegal behavior, just follow the crowd, see others do it and do the same, then get drunk with views and likes, regardless of everything."

Tight management, early prevention

Agreeing with the comment of Truong Luu about many people not being fully aware of the seriousness of traffic safety violations, Tuan An suggested: "In addition to increasing supervision and punishment... there should be more propaganda channels to educate people about the law." "Hopefully, through the story of the model who let go of the motorcycle handlebars and was prosecuted, many people will be startled to realize that joking or boasting can be severely punished, especially don't joke with the law," Thuan said.

Not only strictly handling violations when they are discovered, many BĐs also suggest that management agencies need to manage more closely and prevent illegal content from appearing on social networks sooner. BĐs Thuy expressed her opinion: "How can we not let the social network environment be exploited by people who like to show off their ridiculous antics?"

Just a few minutes of recklessness and the price to pay is too high.

Driving at such speeds is dangerous for those around, but the current fine for this behavior is too low.

Change the way you react, everyone. Instead of arguing, let's report nonsense and toxic content together to keep the social network environment clean.
