(VOVworld) - The helmet use rate of children in Vietnam increased 36 percent in March 2014 to 47 percent in December last year.
 
The review conference was organised in Hanoi by the National Traffic Safety Committee (NTSC), National Traffic Police (C67), the Ministry of Education and Training, and the Asia Injury Prevention (AIP) Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to preventing road injuries and fatalities in low and middle-income countries. 
According to the NTSC, in 2015, more than 11,800 violations of the helmet wearing code were fined 1 billion VND (44,690 USD), and nearly 320 motorbikes and motor-bicycles were seized.
Last year, the number of road accidents involving children aged 6-11 decreased 39.4 percent compared to the same period in 2014. The conference was a platform for delegates from the government agencies to discuss key results and share their experience after one year of the action plan’s implementation.
