On January 3, the Cho Lon Traffic Police Team, Traffic Police Department of Ho Chi Minh City Police Department set up a speed check checkpoint on Vo Van Kiet Street (District 5).
In just about 1 hour of setting up the checkpoint, the Working Group discovered 16 violations, of which 5 vehicles were temporarily detained.
At around 9:30 a.m., the traffic police discovered Mr. T.N.L (born in 1988, from Quang Ngai) driving a motorbike with license plate 54Z6-18xx exceeding the speed limit of 59/50km/h, so they asked Mr. L to stop the vehicle for inspection.
Working with the traffic police, Mr. L also could not present a driver's license.
According to Decree 168, for this violation, Mr. L will be fined from 2-4 million VND for driving without a driver's license (previously fined from 1-2 million VND); fined from 400,000-600,000 VND for driving at a speed exceeding the prescribed speed from 5km/h to under 10km/h (previously fined from 300,000-400,000 VND).
At the same time, the traffic police also issued a fine of 8-10 million VND to the owner of car 54Z6-18xx for handing over the car to an unqualified driver (previously from 800,000 VND to 2 million VND).
The total fine that Mr. L and the car owner had to pay was 12.5 million VND.
When the traffic police informed him of the fine, Mr. L was worried about the high fine and called the car owner to report it. Mr. L said he was on his way to deliver goods from Binh Duong to District 6 (HCMC).
"I've only been working here for a few months. I just did what my boss assigned me to do without paying attention. Now I don't know what to do. I told the car owner and they complained," said Mr. L.
Another case is Mr. N.V.N (born in 1992), driving at a speed exceeding the prescribed speed limit of 56/50km/h.
Mr. N said that because he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, he drove too fast and did not pay attention to the sign. "I will learn from today," said Mr. N.
For this violation, Mr. N was fined from 400,000 to 600,000 VND according to Decree 168.
