He said that the other day when he returned to his hometown to play, his mother gave him a pair of ducks to live. He refused because he was afraid that the smell of ducks in the car could not be cleaned, and the duck chick was taken to the city for complicated slaughter. " instead, without understanding how, my mother quietly tied the sack with a pair of ducks right at the back of the license plate. Who knows, I just discovered it when I got home. I didn't dare to get angry with my mother because she did it just because she loved her children and grandchildren. It seems that a few days later, I received a fine of more than 25 million VND".
In your friend's story, even if it was accidental, you can't escape the fine. Many cases even deliberately cover their license plates. This behavior is not new, but is becoming more and more diverse and sophisticated, especially in the context of the surveillance camera system using artificial intelligence (AI) being widely deployed. The intentional coverage of license plates makes it impossible for cameras to identify violating vehicles, thereby making it difficult to operate fines and manage traffic safety and order.
Previously, detecting traffic violations depended mainly on direct patrols, but now, just a mistake of speeding, running in the wrong lane or entering a prohibited road can be recorded by a camera and automatically punished. This is what has caused some drivers to deliberately try to break the monitoring mechanism by covering their license plates.
The Traffic Police Department said that in the coming time, it will continue to propose to increase sanctions for acts of covering license plates, distorting numbers, changing colors or shapes of license plates, as well as acts of taking advantage of bulky goods to "deselify" cameras. In addition to stepping up patrols, the police sector also called on people to send photos and clips recording violations to strictly handle them, contributing to raising awareness of law compliance among traffic participants.
According to the provisions of Decree 168/2024/ND-CP, the penalty for covering a car's license plate currently ranges from 20 to 26 million VND, and at the same time deducting points from the driver's license. For motorbikes, the fine is from 4 to 6 million VND, accompanied by a deduction of points. In case the driver covers the license plate to commit a crime or evade responsibility after causing an accident, the violator may also be handled according to the provisions of the Penal Code. Some experts assess that the current fine for covering the license plate is quite high compared to before, but it is still not enough to deter the group of drivers who intentionally violate and are willing to trade off with acts that end end endanger the community.
Traffic experts say that to end this situation, in addition to increasing patrols and upgrading the camera system, it is necessary to promote communication about the consequences of covering license plates to raise people's awareness. In reality, most of the violations come from the "inconsistent" mentality, that just passing the camera can get away with responsibility. However, with the increasingly modern surveillance system and increased fines, any intentional behavior can be detected and strictly handled.
