How will motorbikes be punished on the highway?

Reply:

From 2025, the act of driving a motorbike on the highway will be severely punished according to the provisions of Decree No. 168/2024/ND-CP of the Government. Specifically, drivers of motorbikes, mopeds or similar vehicles if deliberately traveling on the highway will be fined from 4,000,000 VND to 6,000,000 VND.

In addition to being administratively fined, violators are also subject to additional penalties, including the suspension of their driving license from 3 to 5 months and the temporary detention of the violating vehicle for up to 7 days. This is one of the strict sanctions applied to deter and minimize dangerous violations of traffic safety.

Notably, according to Clause 13, Article 7 of the Decree, this behavior will also be subject to a deduction of 06 points on the driver's license. This is an important new point in the traffic penalty mechanism from 2025, when the point management system on driver's licenses is officially deployed. When the maximum number of points is deducted, the driver will have to retake the test to be re-issued a driver's license.

Riding a motorbike on the highway is not only illegal but also poses a serious safety risk. The highway is designed exclusively for cars and qualified motor vehicles, with high speed. Motorbikes traveling on this route can cause serious accidents for the driver and other vehicles.

Therefore, traffic participants need to raise awareness of law enforcement, especially compliance with regulations on vehicle classification and traffic signs on the road. Understanding the regulations not only helps avoid fines but also protects the safety of yourself and the community.
