Main Article Content
Abstract
In Vietnam, a developing country, the legal framework for handling administrative violations in road traffic plays a crucial role in ensuring order and traffic safety. Over time, the process of drafting, promulgating, and implementing these laws has faced numerous obstacles and inconsistencies, leading to both positive and negative impacts on real-world enforcement, as well as sparking multidimensional debates. In the future, further research, analysis, and legal reasoning will be required to formulate proposals and recommendations for improving this legal framework.
This paper analyzes and discusses the following issues: (1) Problem Statement; (2) Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Administrative Violation Handling in Road Traffic Law; (3) Proposals and Recommendations for Improvement.
