More than 2,000 young adults kicked off an action month to spread the safe driving message on September 19— pledging to make this the safest month ever in Ho Chi Minh City.
Throughout the month, youth will be sponsoring activities to raise awareness about how to keep young drivers and passengers safe on city streets and the importance of wearing safety helmets.
At the event, representatives of five Departments of Education and Training in the southern region signed commitments with the Ministry of Education and Training to implement goals to ensure traffic safety.
In addition, Honda Vietnam distributed free of charge more than 2,000 helmets for city youth at the ceremony.
According to statistics of the Ministry of Health, each year 1,900 children are killed in traffic accidents across the country, accounting for 24-26% of total children deaths.
