Traffic police handle shipper carrying bulky goods, covering license plate

Many shippers were fined by traffic police for transporting bulky goods that obscured their license plates. They were surprised to hear that the fine was up to 5 million VND for this behavior.

According to the Traffic Police Department of Hanoi City Police, technology-based motorbike taxi and shipper services are developing strongly, meeting the increasing demand for travel and freight transport. However, from here, traffic problems also arise.

It is not difficult to see images of technology motorbike taxi drivers and shippers not complying with traffic safety regulations when driving on the road, especially in urban areas with many violations such as: using phones while driving, speeding, running red lights or going the wrong way...

These people often cover up their vehicle's license plates to avoid being fined. These violations show the lack of awareness of some technology motorbike taxi drivers and shippers.

For these traffic violators, Hanoi Traffic Police will resolutely handle them strictly to increase deterrence and avoid lawlessness.

According to the CAND Newspaper's reporter in Nam Tu Liem and Cau Giay districts (Hanoi) on May 9, the working groups of Traffic Police Team No. 6 (Traffic Police Department of Hanoi City Police) handled many cases of motorbike taxi and shipper violations.

Traffic police organize to record violations with professional equipment for handling.

For example, a female shipper was transporting a large, bulky load of goods without a helmet and tied a bag to block the license plate. Working with the police, the female shipper said that she saw that the distance she was traveling was quite short so she subjectively did not wear a helmet; and tied the bag behind the vehicle because she wanted to carry more goods.

Police stopped to check the female shipper driver.

The violation caused the female shipper driver to receive a relatively heavy fine.

According to Captain Trinh Van Duong, an officer of Traffic Police Team No. 6, the female shipper's violations include: not wearing a helmet, covering the vehicle's license plate, and the fine according to regulations is 5.5 million VND, deducting 6 points from the driver's license. Traffic police will also require the driver to remove the bag covering the license plate and reduce bulky goods.

The above violations were also discovered and handled by the working groups of Traffic Police Team No. 6 against many other motorbike taxi drivers and shippers.

In Hoan Kiem District (Hanoi), Traffic Police Team No. 1 (Traffic Police Department of Hanoi City Police) also deployed a working group to handle the situation of motorbike drivers, motorbike taxi drivers, and shippers covering their license plates, running red lights, and transporting goods beyond the prescribed limit...

Speaking to CAND Newspaper reporters, Lieutenant Colonel Ta Xuan Hau, an officer of Traffic Police Team No. 1, said that recently, the unit has handled many violations related to vehicle license plates, in which the shipper force accounts for a fairly high proportion. The act of covering up license plates not only hinders the process of handling violations but also poses a potential risk of insecurity in vehicle management and information retrieval when traffic incidents or incidents related to security and order occur.

According to Decree 168/2024/ND-CP (effective from January 1, 2025), drivers of motorbikes, scooters, and electric scooters who cover, blur, or change the license plate content will be fined from 4 to 6 million VND and have 6 points deducted from their driving license.

As one of the cases being handled, male shipper N.D.L. (born in 1997) said that he only thought that sticking a license plate would result in a fine, but he did not expect that transporting goods that covered the license plate would also be handled by the authorities.

The license plate is covered by goods.

Another case when handled by the traffic police justified that, because he wanted to save delivery time, this person carried many items on the car at the same time to avoid having to go back and forth many times, but unexpectedly encountered the police today.

The Traffic Police Department said that the unit will continue to promote mobile patrols combined with specialized recording equipment, while maximizing the use of surveillance cameras to handle violations through cold fines. All violations will be recorded, information retrieved, and handled in accordance with regulations, ensuring deterrence and raising awareness of compliance with the Law on Road Traffic Order and Safety, thereby raising awareness and changing the face of the capital's traffic towards a civilized, modern, and safe direction.
