National Assembly Delegate Tran Thi Thu Phuoc (Kon Tum) proposed to the National Assembly and the drafting committee to supplement regulations on calculating points for driving licenses. In particular, the Delegate suggested that the deduction of points from driving licenses should be considered as a state management measure.
On the afternoon of November 24, at the National Assembly House, under the chairmanship of National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue, the National Assembly discussed in the hall the draft Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety.

Discussing at the meeting hall, National Assembly delegate Tran Thi Thu Phuoc (Kon Tum) said that the situation of violating traffic safety order is a very serious problem. Therefore, the delegate proposed to study the regulation on calculating driving license points and deducting driving license points.
According to the delegate's comments, a driver's license is one of the very important documents, which is an effective tool for state management of functional agencies in the field of ensuring traffic order and safety.

However, in recent times, traffic safety violations have remained very complicated, with many serious traffic accidents causing huge losses in human life and property, causing anxiety and frustration among the people.
“The main reason for this situation is partly due to the low awareness of traffic controllers; in terms of law, administrative violations are only temporary and not enough to deter violators,” the delegate said.
Faced with this situation, Deputy Tran Thi Thu Phuoc proposed to the National Assembly and the drafting committee to add regulations on calculating points for driver's licenses. In particular, the Deputy suggested that it is necessary to consider using the deduction of points for driver's licenses as a state management measure.

“This is a measure that directly impacts the awareness of drivers and has been applied by many countries in the world. Depending on the violation, the driver will have a certain number of points deducted. If the violation is repeated, the driver will have his/her driving license deducted many times, until the driver's license is revoked and he/she is forced to retake the course,” said Deputy Tran Thi Thu Phuoc, affirming that drivers must be aware of the number of points on their license, minimizing the possibility of violations that will result in points being deducted.
Regarding the installation of dash cams on vehicles, Deputy Huynh Thi Phuc (Ba Ria - Vung Tau) said that regulations on dash cam monitoring devices are very necessary to monitor violations. However, the scope of application is still quite broad.
In particular, the draft law stipulates conditions for participating in traffic, including regulations that motor vehicles and specialized motorbikes participating in traffic must have journey monitoring devices, devices to collect image data of the driver, and image data to ensure safety according to regulations.
Delegate Huynh Thi Phuc said that such a regulation can be understood as all types of vehicles, including personal vehicles, not excluding vehicles in cases with separate regulations, must be equipped with journey monitoring. Therefore, the Delegate suggested that it is necessary to consider the suitability and consistency.
Agreeing with this opinion, Deputy Dieu Huynh Sang (Binh Phuoc) suggested reviewing and separating the contents related to road transport in this draft law and the Road Law.

In particular, the National Assembly member said that as of June 2023, the whole country has over 6 million cars and 73 million motorbikes in circulation. If the draft law is passed, tens of millions of motorbikes will have to be equipped with journey monitoring devices, which is difficult to ensure feasibility.
Delegate Dieu Huynh Sang said that in many countries around the world, people do not install dash cams to prove their innocence, but instead, authorities must prove that the vehicle owner has committed a violation before they can be punished.
On the other hand, the mandatory installation of GPS tracking devices may violate citizens' privacy, affect the quality standards of the devices, and pose potential safety risks.

“A mandatory regulation is difficult to implement because the number of motorbikes is too large while people's income is still low, people's lives are still difficult…”, the delegate wondered about the feasibility.
From the above analysis, Deputy Dieu Huynh Sang believes that this regulation is not suitable for reality while the scope of impact is wide. Therefore, the Deputy proposes to only regulate the installation of journey monitoring devices for commercial transport vehicles as currently implemented.

Before discussing in the hall the draft Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety, the National Assembly voted to pass the Law on Management and Protection of National Defense Works and Military Zones.
Specifically, the electronic voting results showed that 470 National Assembly deputies (NADs) participated in the vote in favor (accounting for 95.14%). Thus, with the majority of NADs participating in the vote in favor, the National Assembly officially passed the draft Law on Management and Protection of National Defense Works and Military Zones.
