In case the driver is asked by the traffic police to prove the violation image
When participating in traffic, there are many cases where drivers do not fully understand the Road Traffic Law and therefore commit basic violations. In which cases are drivers required to request traffic police to prove the violation image is a question that many people wonder about.
According to Article 56 of the Law on Handling of Administrative Violations 2012, administrative sanctions without making a record are applied in cases of warning or fines of up to VND 250,000 for individuals, VND 500,000 for organizations and the person with the authority to impose sanctions must issue a decision to impose administrative sanctions on the spot. Cases of administrative violations discovered through the use of technical and professional means and equipment must make a record.
Violations that are subject to on-the-spot fines without the need to make a record are regulated in Clause 1, Article 6 of Decree 100 of the Government, including acts subject to fines from VND 100,000 to VND 200,000 as follows:
Failure to comply with commands and instructions of traffic signs and road markings, except for violations of regulations.
No signal before overtaking.
Not keeping a safe distance to avoid a collision with the vehicle in front or not keeping the distance as prescribed by the "minimum distance between two vehicles" sign.
