However, the convenience and popularity of motorcycles present significant challenges in traffic safety, which greatly affect people’s lives and the economy in many countries. However, there remain multiple shortcomings in traffic safety regulations which need to be addressed, according to Trần Hữu Minh, head of the office of the National Traffic Safety Committee. One of the key issues is the group of adolescents aged 16-18, who are legally allowed to drive scooters of below 50cc but lack traffic safety knowledge and proper driving skills. Furthermore, although motorcycle standards have been put forward, safety levels for motorcycles in Việt Nam are considered relatively low. “Therefore, the challenges and solutions to ensure motorcycle safety should be prioritised in upcoming traffic safety programmes," Minh said.
