On the second day of Decree 168/2024 taking effect, traffic conditions at intersections in Ho Chi Minh City have improved as most people are conscious of obeying traffic laws. Cases of non-compliance with traffic lights, driving in the wrong direction... have decreased significantly.
Accordingly, Decree 168 of the Government on administrative sanctions for violations in the field of road traffic, deduction of points, and restoration of driving license points replaces Decree 100/2019 (amended and supplemented in Decree 123) which stipulates increased penalties for many violations.
In particular, the act of allowing goods to cover the license plate of a new vehicle is subject to penalties. As in the case of Mr. NPT (Tan Binh District), who violated the act of "Transporting goods on a motorbike but the license plate is hidden" (stipulated in Point b, Clause 1, Article 36 of Decree 168) while traveling on Cong Hoa Street (Tan Binh District) on the morning of January 2.
Tan Son Nhat Traffic Police under the Traffic Police Department (PC08), Ho Chi Minh City Police, notified, made a record and fined Mr. T. 350,000 VND (no points deducted from his driver's license).
Notably, Decree 168 stipulates a fine of 4-6 million VND (minus 6 points on the driver's license) for the following acts: driving a vehicle without a license plate; attaching a license plate that does not match the vehicle registration certificate or attaching a license plate that is not issued by a competent authority; driving a vehicle with a license plate that is not in the correct position or in the correct format as prescribed; attaching a license plate with unclear letters or numbers or using other materials to paint or paste over the license plate's numbers; attaching a license plate that is bent, obscured, or changes the letters, numbers, color, shape, or size of the license plate.
When he was fined, Mr. T. was very surprised: "A few times before, I accidentally carried a lot of goods and covered the license plate but was not fined. Now the new decree stipulates penalties so I have to pay attention."
Immediately after that, Mr. T. had to remove the goods and not cover the license plate before he could continue driving on the road.
Ho Chi Minh City Police said that after one day of implementing Decree 168, the Traffic Police Department (PC08) has issued fines for nearly 1,600 cases of traffic safety violations. The total amount of fines recorded is more than 6 billion VND.
The increase in administrative penalties is intended to deter some people who have poor traffic awareness, and to prevent and reduce the risk of traffic accidents. However, at times when there are no police officers on duty, many vehicles in Ho Chi Minh City still ignore red lights.
