But the Bengkalis District Traffic Police has enforced the law against traffic violations, with repressive efforts that constitute activities covering two educative and juridical prosecutions. Educative act of repression in the form of reprimand and warning. While the jurisdiction is the action carried out by a ticket or a fine, legal awareness can be raised in several parameters, among others, in terms of the form of violation, the implementation of the law. Increased awareness of Bengkalis community law can basically be done through two ways, namely in the form of education. One of the efforts made is the direct socialization to the field, school, and directly to the village community.
