In case the driver is asked by the traffic police to prove the image of the violation
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 can drivers ask the traffic police to prove the violation image is a question that many people wonder.
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 up to 250,000 VND for individuals, 500,000 VND for organizations and the person with the authority to impose sanctions must issue a decision to impose administrative sanctions on the spot.
