How to know exactly if your car is being fined or not

A cold fine is a form of punishment for traffic participants whose violations are detected through technical means and equipment of the authorities or recorded by technical equipment of organizations and individuals or information and images posted on mass media and social networks that the authorities cannot immediately stop and handle.

The practice of imposing fines has been implemented in Vietnam since 2004, bringing many positive effects to traffic safety management, especially raising awareness among traffic participants.

Despite many limitations, with the increasingly widespread network of traffic surveillance cameras, cold fines help "tighten" the legal framework for punishing vehicles that violate traffic laws.
