The government has issued Decree 168 stipulating administrative penalties for violations of traffic order and safety in the field of road transport; deducting and restoring points on driver's licenses, effective from January 1, 2025.
According to the decree, drivers who do not turn on their headlights after 6 PM will be fined up to 1,000,000 VND for cars and 400,000 VND for motorbikes.
Specifically, drivers who fail to use or use insufficient headlights between 6 PM the previous day and 6 AM the following day, or during fog, smoke, dust, rain, or bad weather that restricts visibility, will be fined from 800,000 VND to 1,000,000 VND.
Thus, compared to the regulations of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP, the lighting time is now switched on earlier and for a longer period of 2 hours. Accordingly, the lighting time has changed from 7 PM the previous day to 5 AM the following day to 6 PM the previous day to 6 AM the following day.
For motorcycles, Decree 168 also stipulates that if a driver of a motorcycle, moped, or similar vehicle fails to use headlights between 6 PM the previous day and 6 AM the following day, or when there is fog, smoke, dust, rain, or bad weather that restricts visibility, they will be fined between 200,000 and 400,000 VND.
