How did you learn about it?
Who does this law affect?
Why is this a good law, and what would be the consequence of not having it?
ANSWER
I believe that every country has numerous laws and regulations in place to ensure security and maintain order, with the primary purpose of improving people’s quality of life. Vietnam is no exception. After reviewing this topic, the law regarding wearing helmets for motorcyclists comes to mind because I consider it highly effective in reducing accidents in Vietnam.
As you know, Vietnam has a high burden of road traffic injuries, being the country where motorcycles are by far the primary mode of transport across the nation, with thousands of new motorcycles on the road each day, according to the WHO.
Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of unintentional injuries, accounting for the greatest proportion of deaths from unintentional injuries.
It has been estimated that more accidents in Vietnam occur among motorcycle drivers and passengers than any other mode of transport.
Therefore, back in 2007, the government enacted a law that made it mandatory for all motorcycle riders and passengers to wear safety helmets on every type of road.
If they don’t wear helmets on the road, they can be stopped and given fines by the police.
Obviously, since this law was introduced in Vietnam, it has faced quite many challenges concerning the quality of helmets, the enforcement of it on children, and people’s lack of awareness.
However, it can’t be denied that this law has made traveling by road in Vietnam significantly safer.
Research from the government has shown that the number of road traffic injuries and fatalities has witnessed a decrease as helmets lower the frequency and severity of head injuries resulting from traffic crashes.
I believe that if we didn’t comply with this law, there could be dire repercussions for the injured, their families, and the government because road traffic injuries cause considerable economic losses to individuals, their families, and to nations as a whole.
Therefore, I think that this law should be enforced strictly, and all law-breakers should be fined.

- What are the most common causes of road-related accidents?
In my opinion, There are various reasons that cause traffic accidents, such as overspeeding, drunken Drunken Driving, distractions to drivers, red light jumping, and so on.
- What are the consequences of accidents?
From my perspective, there are countless dire repercussions related to accidents.
Firstly, drivers and passengers can suffer from minor cuts and bruises to broken limbs, whiplash, back and spinal injuries, paralysis, and even death.
Secondly, vehicles in road accidents are damaged, may be in need of minor or costly repairs, or may even be no longer drivable.
Moreover, road traffic injuries cause considerable economic losses to individuals, their families, and to nations as a whole.
Last but not least, their deaths often significantly reduce family incomes. Serious injuries have
also have long-term impacts on household incomes for low-income households and can have
serious consequences on the household quality of life
- What are the effects of accidents on society?
From my point of view, the social consequences of road traffic accidents include the loss of productivity for the victims, the cost of the legal system, the cost of pain and suffering, and the loss of quality of life for the victim and their family. The loss of productivity represents a significant proportion of the total social costs.
It can increase the economic burden on their family and government.
- Which are the most basic laws that govern most people around the world?
Based on my observation, there are several laws around the world regarding marriages, business, violence, theft, traffic, and religion, which are quite commonplace in most places to keep people safe from danger and to enable society to prosper.
- Can you elaborate on it?
Yes, definitely. some laws related to traffic, like having your driver’s license or wearing our seatbelt, and obeying all traffic laws and signals.
- Why should we follow the rules strictly?
I reckon that following the rules keeps pretty much everything in order. Obeying the law protects peace, public order, and good health.
Without laws, this world would turn into a chaotic mess all around, like traffic accidents, thiefs, violence, burglary, wars, and kidnapping.
- Why do people obey the law?
I believe that the main reason is that they want to avoid legal consequences and sanctions.
- Can you elaborate on it?
Of course, for example, on roads, if we don’t follow the traffic rules, no one will be able to reach his or her destination on time, and several accidents will take place.
- What international law should be applied all over the world?
I think that humanitarian law can be applied around the world. It protects innocent civilians and those not or no longer involved in the fighting, including medical and religious personnel, wounded combatants, civilian internees, and prisoners of war.
