"Reckless" speed: Nearly 25,000 "speed demon" badges vanish, netizens are in an uproar!

24,412 "evil spirits" were "killed" from the racetrack! The record number of speeding violations caused thousands of badges to be revoked. Is this a wake-up call for "speed demons" who disregard the rules?

24,412 vehicles had their badges revoked in 2024 for speeding violations - a shocking figure that reflects the serious traffic violations today. Since the beginning of the year, speeding has become a burning issue, raising concerns about safety on the roads. Badge revocation and strict penalties have been implemented, but are these changes strong enough to reduce traffic risks and "reckless" behavior on the roads?

According to the Vietnam Road Administration, between January 1 and November 30, 2024, a total of 24,412 vehicles had their badges revoked for speeding violations of 5 times/1000km or more. This number is shocking compared to previous years, showing the severity of the problem. Compared to 2023, the rate of speeding violations increased sharply, forcing authorities to increase handling measures.

In addition, a total of 493,255 other vehicles were cited and fined for other violations such as speeding, exceeding the time limit, or failing to transmit data properly. These figures are not only a warning, but also a stern reminder of the need for a safe and orderly traffic environment.

Speeding violations are now not only found on deserted roads, but also on national highways, expressways, and even in the inner city. Passenger cars, trucks, and container trucks are often "highway demons" with "reckless" speeds, easily exceeding the speed limit and disregarding their own lives and those of other road users.

Heartbreaking incidents due to speeding are no longer rare. Recently, a serious incident occurred on the Bac Giang - Hanoi expressway, when a truck exceeded the speed limit and crashed into a passenger bus, killing three people and injuring dozens. This is just one of countless similar incidents, and each of these incidents has left behind unpredictable consequences.

Current regulations on penalties for speeding violations are very strict, aiming to deter and ensure traffic safety. According to Decree 41/2024, vehicles that violate the law will have their badges revoked, their transport business operations suspended for a certain period of time, and they must return their badges within the prescribed time to be reissued.

In particular, for vehicles that violate the law for the second time within 6 months, the penalty will be even more severe, possibly leading to a long-term suspension of operation. This is to prevent "speed demons" from not only affecting traffic safety but also endangering society.

This incident quickly became a hot topic on social networks. Netizens continuously condemned the reckless behavior of some drivers. Many angry comments were made about the "speed demons" who are freely violating the law, making people worried about their safety when participating in traffic. The "outrage" continued on forums, with some even suggesting banning vehicles that seriously violate the law from public roads.

To reduce speeding violations, authorities are implementing solutions such as increasing inspections, monitoring via cameras, imposing strict penalties, and promoting traffic safety propaganda. Along with that, measures to improve traffic infrastructure, such as building safe lanes and increasing speed signs, are also included in the long-term plan.

The speeding situation in 2024 is becoming increasingly serious with "huge" numbers. Each violation not only affects the violator but also seriously affects the safety of the entire community. Compliance with traffic laws is the responsibility of each individual, and is also the most important measure to protect lives when participating in traffic.
