For the first time, Hanoi’s traffic police officers have filmed tens of students who broke the rules that ban high school students from driving motorbikes.

Under a joint plan of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training and Hanoi Police Department, Hanoi’s traffic police officers on April 21-22, disguised and stood at the gates of high schools based in the Hoan Kiem district, to film students who drove motorbikes to school.

Police officers said that within one hour, they recorded around 30 students of Tran Phu and Dinh Tien Hoang high schools driving motorbikes in a parking lot on Phan Chu Trinh road.

Lieutenant-colonel Hoang Van Tuan, from the Traffic Police Team 1, said that portraits of violators will be sent to their schools. For the first violation, students will be reminded. If they re-violate the rule, they will have to be reprimanded or will be marked with bad behavior in their school reports.

Headmaster of Tran Phu High School, Nguyen Huu Chieu, said that the clip will be screened at the school to raise awareness of traffic rules for students.

This is the first time Hanoian police officers filmed students who violate traffic rules. Previously, they only disguised to follow and fine violators.
