Worried about failing the year-end inspection

Absent, but still failed vehicle inspection

On the morning of January 30, the working atmosphere at the Vehicle Inspection Center (VIC) 50-04V, Cat Lai Ward, Ho Chi Minh City was peaceful. Driving her own car to the vehicle inspection, Ms. HMY, residing in District 7 (Ho Chi Minh City), shared: "My car's registration expired at the end of February, but to have peace of mind when going out for Tet, I brought my car for inspection early. I heard that the VICs were deserted, so I was confident in taking my car for inspection. If there was a traffic jam like before, I would have had to ask a relative to go for me because I couldn't wait in line. It's true that vehicle inspection is very deserted now. After submitting the application and paying the fee, it only takes about 30 minutes to get the new sticker applied."

The number of vehicles coming for inspection is low, but drivers and vehicle owners are always worried about failing the inspection. Mr. Huy (living in An Phu Ward, Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City) brought the vehicles of 3 acquaintances for inspection, but only 1 vehicle was inspected, the other 2 vehicles were caught with "cold fines" in Binh Thuan. "I don't know how to look up online, so I brought the vehicle directly to the inspection center to look up for help. There are still a few days left until Tet, if I don't pay the fine on time, I won't have a vehicle to go out for Tet, and I'll have to go to another place to handle the "cold fine" error, which is very time-consuming," Mr. Huy sadly confided.

Registration is quite deserted at the end of the year

After waiting for nearly 20 minutes, the owner of car 60A-407.xx was informed by the staff that the car had been fined in Ho Chi Minh City and had to pay the fine or send a notice to clear the fine on the system in order to continue with the inspection. He called several places to seek support, but in the end, the owner still had to take the car to pay the fine and then return.

At the 50-03S inspection center, the near-Tet inspection situation was also deserted. At 10am, there were not many cars in line for inspection. Mr. Trinh Van Thinh, who had just stepped out of the inspection center, said: "I had to go through the inspection twice to pass because of a faulty light bulb. My car had a new bulb with a power booster, and the inspection staff said that the electrical structure could not be changed. So I had to go back and change it, which took a lot of time."

The director of a Registration Center in District 11, Ho Chi Minh City recommends: To avoid wasting time for vehicle owners and those waiting in line, all Registration Centers recommend that vehicle owners and drivers should proactively check, maintain, and repair any damage to the vehicle before going for inspection to avoid the vehicle failing the inspection and having to be repaired many times, creating more congestion. Among the errors that require "turning the vehicle around" today, the most notable is the penalty error, which vehicle owners can completely check through the Registration Center application or on the website of the Registration Department. In addition, some other subjective errors such as changing the electrical design, forgetting to renew the positioning... also waste time for vehicle owners to fix.

Will traffic jams return in April?

In recent days, many car owners have been worried when they saw a notice from the Vietnam Register warning that traffic jams may return in April. Specifically, the Vietnam Register said: According to statistics on vehicles due for inspection and the operation of inspection units nationwide, the Vietnam Register found that in 2024, the number of vehicles coming for inspection at inspection units will increase.

To minimize unnecessary damage to people and businesses, the Department of Vehicle Inspection recommends that the transport association notify its members, transport businesses and vehicle users to take advantage of February and March 2024 when the number of vehicles coming for inspection has not increased, so that they can bring their vehicles for inspection early or coordinate with the inspection unit to conduct acceptance and re-inspection for some cases that have been renovated or arbitrarily renovated not in accordance with the Inspection Certificate and Inspection Stamp issued before February 15, 2024.

Some leaders of the Inspection Center in Ho Chi Minh City also predict that the number of vehicles coming for inspection will increase again in April 2024. Normally, this is the time of the annual April 30 holiday. In previous years, consumers often bought cars for travel and the demand for transportation also increased at this time.

Mr. Minh Long, the owner of a transport company in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, recalled: "The traffic jam a year ago made most businesses lose sleep, now we are still quite worried. Regarding the recommendation of the Department of Vehicle Registration, I think there are some points that businesses have to consider. First is the cost, for businesses with a large fleet of vehicles like us, the inspection period is calculated very carefully, usually only a few days before the expiration date, if the inspection is done early, it will cost money and road fees. Just 1 month earlier than the scheduled inspection is considered a loss of 10% of the fee, multiplied by many vehicles, the business will suffer a huge loss. At the time of serious traffic jams last year, we accepted to inspect 1 month earlier to put the vehicles into business, but now the situation is not so bad, so the business does not see the need to go for early inspection".

Responding to Thanh Nien , Mr. Nguyen Van Hung, Permanent Vice President of Binh Duong Automobile Transport Association, commented: "According to the reflection of member enterprises, the vehicle inspection situation in Binh Duong province and neighboring areas is still taking place normally, there is no congestion. It is possible that because the Department of Vehicle Inspection had proactively warned early, many car owners have sought to inspect in other areas on their way to travel or deliver goods. Today, the Department continues to warn and warn of congestion in April, enterprises are also quite worried, but the current reality is not too bad. Therefore, enterprises will also calculate the most favorable plan".

The Department of Registration also recommends that vehicle owners should bring vehicles that are about to expire, have expired or are past the expiration date for inspection (especially vehicles that have been extended for inspection according to the provisions of Circular 8/2023) to choose an early and suitable inspection time such as February and March 2024; be proactive when on the way home, on business trips, traveling, picking up goods, or delivering goods, they can go to any convenient inspection unit for inspection.
