Proposal to exempt first-time vehicle inspection for new cars

The Traffic Police Department has just sent a document to the Vietnam Register requesting a number of issues related to motor vehicle inspection. Among them, it is considering exempting the first technical safety inspection for new road motor vehicles that are still under the manufacturer's warranty period.

In the immediate future, to reduce travel time and costs, and create convenience for people, the Traffic Police Department has proposed that the Vietnam Register consider allowing individuals and organizations that are vehicle owners in island districts to have their vehicles inspected (for the first time) before registering their vehicles, and that subsequent inspection cycles be carried out in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Transport. The reason is that imported, domestically produced and assembled vehicles have been inspected for technical safety and environmental protection before being sold on the market, so the Vietnam Register should also consider exempting new road motor vehicles from the factory that are still under the manufacturer's warranty period.

Along with that, the Traffic Police Department also proposed diversifying inspection forms. Instead of only assigning them to inspection centers, it is also necessary to research and assign inspection to qualified genuine maintenance and warranty facilities according to regulations.

The Vietnam Register also needs to conduct research to regulate the responsibilities of vehicle owners in maintaining and repairing their vehicles, to avoid the situation where many vehicles have technical problems while in traffic, leading to accidents or engine failure, causing traffic congestion and affecting the time and fuel of other vehicles.

In addition, coordinate with the police force in the fight to prevent and stop establishments that repair, modify, extend the body of vehicles, illegally weave, race, overload, and cause disorder.
