Specifically, this account shared: He was participating in traffic by motorbike on National Highway 1A, running through Phu Ly city, when the traffic police stopped his motorbike for inspection because it did not have a rearview mirror.
The traffic police said there are two ways to handle the situation: 1. Make a decision to handle the administrative violation on the spot, with a fine of 80,000-100,000 VND; 2. Give a warning so that the violator can continue driving. However, to ensure the safety of traffic participants, the traffic police do not impose a penalty, but only give a warning and temporarily confiscate the driver's license, on the condition that the violator must correct the error immediately, and then the driver's license will be returned to continue driving.
Account Tung Kaka recounted the conversation with the traffic police:
"- Now go straight 200m to the red light intersection, turn left, there are a few repair shops that can install mirrors for only 25,000 VND.
- But now you have my driver's license, when I come back, who will I find to get it?
- Take a picture of me if you're afraid I won't pay. I'll fix the problem and come back to give you your license so you can continue driving.
A moment later he came back: - I'll pay now, you move carefully.
- Thank you, police officer!".
