A student proposes to the Prime Minister a solution for unregistered vehicles
Dear Mr. Nguyen Tan Dung:
I am an international student with a scholarship for the 500 masters and doctoral programs of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, currently studying at UQ -
Over the past few days, I have learned new information about Decree 71, which regulates the fines for vehicles that are not registered to the owner. There are many, many people who are upset about this Decree. Maybe it is because people do not understand the true intentions of the law makers in this matter. However, I have learned that the real “desire” of the Ministry of Transport is to create penalties to deter illegal vehicle trading, not transferring ownership, and tax evasion… I understand that the law makers want to tighten the law, so that people are more aware of buying and selling vehicles, and the Ministry of Transport can more easily manage vehicle theft… That is not too much.

However, if we “immediately” apply this law to life, there are many things that are not right:
The first,Current car owners who have owned cars that are not registered under their name, “desire” them very much but cannot find the real previous owner to transfer ownership, can be fined at any time. These people are usually poor people, because they do not have much money, so they buy used cars, want to save some of the cost of transferring ownership, accept the risk and do not transfer the ownership.
Monday, if the cars that cannot be transferred have to be “shelved”, as people are upset about, it is a huge waste of national assets. This makes it even more difficult for the poor…
From the above analysis, I propose the following solution:
The first, this law should not be applied immediately. People should be given 6 months to complete the procedures for changing the name and ownership. For those who can find the old owner of the car, the transfer of ownership will be applied as usual. For those who cannot find the old owner of the car, they will also be given the opportunity to change the vehicle ownership certificate to their name, but will be fined an administrative fine (depending on the remaining value of the car from 100,000 VND to 1,000,000 VND).
Traffic violators’ vehicles are increasingly being confiscated and abandoned at temporary storage areas. Thousands of vehicles are at risk of becoming scrap.
From 6 months onwards (the issue of old cars that have been and are still unable to transfer ownership due to not being able to find the owner has been satisfactorily resolved), all cars when being bought and sold must be transferred and notarized. State agencies will no longer handle any cases of buying and selling cars without transferring ownership and not being able to find the owner to transfer ownership. At that time, the law of a fine of 1 million VND will be applied if the car is not registered to the owner. Only then will people be more aware when buying and selling cars.
Monday,It is necessary to propagate to the people the real desire in applying this decree, so that people are less confused. This law is really only to protect people from criminals who steal cars...
Tuesday,It is necessary to simplify the procedures for transferring ownership when buying and selling used cars, and to propagate and instruct people to “know how” to do it, and see that transferring ownership is very easy, if the car is truly bought and sold legally (not stolen). For the poor, when buying a used car, the remaining value of the car is low (under 5 million, for example), the transfer of ownership will be carried out “free of charge” for the people, to reduce costs for the poor. Determining the remaining value of the car is not based on the price stated in the sales contract, but on the depreciation of fixed assets.
Only then will people easily accept the law of changing ownership when buying and selling cars.
Basically, this law is necessary for management, but if we want to tighten it in a hasty manner like now, people will be very dissatisfied, and the "shelved" cars will waste national assets. On the contrary, if we abolish this law because people are too dissatisfied, it will be even more inappropriate, creating conditions for criminals to thrive.
I am writing this letter to you in the context of seeing that our people in Vietnam are too upset, and some reactionary elements here are distorting too much about our law makers. Maybe my solutions are not really practical. But these are my concerns and wishes to build a Vietnam
Hope that Vietnam
Wish you good health!
