Is there a penalty for 1 day overdue vehicle inspection?
According to regulations, if car inspection is delayed by 1 day, the car owner will also be administratively fined.
What is vehicle inspection?
Vehicle inspection is a form of inspection by the competent authority to check whether the vehicle meets the quality standards or not. The purpose of vehicle inspection is to check the safety threshold of the vehicle, in order to minimize the risk of accidents while the vehicle is on the road.
The vehicle inspection period is specifically stated on the inspection sticker and is affixed directly to the windshield. Most provinces and cities across the country have vehicle inspection centers.
What is the fine for 1 day of late registration?
Pursuant to Decree No. 123/2021/ND-CP, there are two time limits for vehicle inspection expiration: less than 1 month and more than 1 month, and there is no regulation on the minimum daily fine.
Therefore, if the vehicle registration expires 1 day, it will fall into the case of being overdue for less than 1 month and will be fined according to regulations.
However, in case the car owner has a legitimate reason, instead of being fined, he will only be warned.
Regarding the fine for late vehicle inspection, according to Clauses 5 and 6, Article 16 of Decree No. 123/2021/ND-CP, amended by Clause 9, Article 2 of Decree 123/2021/ND-CP, it is stipulated as follows:
A fine of between VND 3,000,000 and VND 4,000,000 shall be imposed for one of the following violations:
a) Driving a vehicle with a Certificate or stamp of technical safety and environmental protection inspection but expired for less than 01 month (including trailers and semi-trailers);
b) Driving a vehicle without adequate braking system or with adequate braking system but it is not effective or does not meet technical safety standards (including trailers and semi-trailers).
In addition to the fine, the driver who commits the violation shall also be subject to the following additional penalties:
c) Committing the acts specified in Point a, Point b, Clause 3; Clause 4; Clause 5; Point c, Clause 6; Point a, Clause 7 of this Article shall have the right to use a driving license revoked for a period of 01 to 03 months;
Thus, in case of delay in vehicle inspection by 1 day, the vehicle owner will also be subject to administrative penalty. The penalty is a fine of 3,000,000 VND to 4,000,000 VND and the driver's license will be revoked for 1 to 3 months.
In case of late vehicle inspection for more than 1 month, the fine will be 4 - 6 million VND, and the driver's license will be revoked for 1-3 months.
The above fines are for individuals. If the vehicle owner is an organization, the fine will be 8-12 million VND if the vehicle registration is overdue for less than 1 month and 12-16 million VND if the vehicle registration is overdue for more than 1 month.
