Article 6 deals with penalties for drivers and passengers of motorcycles, mopeds (including electric motorcycles), and similar types of vehicles who violate road traffic rules.
Specifically, a fine of 100,000 - 200,000 VND will be imposed for driving at a speed exceeding the regulated limit by 5 km/h to less than 10 km/h; a fine of 500,000 - 1,000,000 VND will be imposed on drivers exceeding the regulated speed limit by 10 km/h to 20 km/h.
