Violation when participating in traffic with a "number-seeking vehicle"
Recently, many people buy cars without license plates, but still drive the vehicle in normal traffic like other vehicles.
Therefore, from time to time we still encounter some cases of cars with stickers printed with the words "car asking for a license" on the road. In some cases, the vehicle has just been purchased and is waiting to pay the registration fee to issue a license plate. In other cases, there are cases where the license plate issuance procedure is intentionally not completed for other reasons.
For example, Mr. NVC (residing in Vung Tau City) said that when buying a car, there was information that registration tax would be reduced, so the family decided to wait a short time before "dialing the number". And Mr. HVT (living in Vung Tau City) said that for another reason, he waited until "head 8" (72A-8xx..) to register for license plate issuance.
According to the Traffic and Order Police Team (GT-TT) of Vung Tau City Police, driving a car with a "number-seeking vehicle" sign in traffic is a violation of the law. According to the provisions of Clause 3, Article 53 of the 2008 Road Traffic Law, motor vehicles that are eligible to participate in traffic must be registered and have license plates issued by a competent state agency.
"Thus, driving cars in particular and motor vehicles in general in traffic without a license plate is a violation and is likely to be handled," the leader of the Traffic and Information Police Team of Vung Tau City Police admitted. determined.
Thus, to participate in traffic according to regulations, cars without license plates can use towing services, or register temporary license plates to circulate according to regulations.
There is a possibility of criminal prosecution and insurance refusal to compensate when an accident occurs
The leader of the Traffic and Information Police Team of Vung Tau City Police said that in the event of an accident, the driver of a car with a "license registration" license will certainly be fined for an administrative violation for driving without a license. vehicle registration according to regulations; or other content if any.
In case of causing damage over 100 million VND, in addition to administrative sanctions, the file will also be transferred for investigation and consideration of criminal prosecution according to regulations.
"Many times there are only minor collisions but cause damage greater than 100 million VND. The file will also be transferred to the investigation agency for consideration," informed the leader of the Traffic Police Team-T.
According to Mr. Nguyen Van Tung - PJICO Vung Tau Insurance Motor Vehicle Department, in fact there are many cases where cars have participated in vehicle physical insurance (body) before being issued license plates and vehicle registration certificates. ...
However, according to the insurance rules of PJICO in particular and some other insurance units in general, in case the car owner drives a car and an accident occurs when he or she is not qualified to participate in traffic, Damage caused by that accident is not the insurance company's liability.
"For cars that do not have a license plate but only have a "license plate" , at this time the vehicle does not have a license plate, has not been issued a vehicle registration certificate, has not been inspected... so it is in the case of not having enough license plates. traffic conditions," Mr. Tung commented.
In case the car is not participating in traffic, parked in a garage, yard... but is affected by external forces that the car owner did not foresee causing damage (such as rocks flying, fruit falling on them). vehicle...) is still responsible for compensating the vehicle's body if insured.
