Penalties for putting tape on car license plates to avoid fines

The Traffic Police Department of Ha Tinh Public Security has just administratively fined a case in Huong Son district for using black tape to change the license plate to avoid a fine.

Previously, on May 15, 2023, on social networking sites, images of a car traveling on National Highway 1, through Viet Tien commune (Thach Ha) were circulated, with black tape covering the license plate.

The car's owner used black tape to change the license plate to avoid a fine.

Upon receiving the information, the leaders of the Traffic Police Department of Ha Tinh Police directed the professional team to check the license plates to verify and clarify. On May 18, the authorities invited Ms. NTV (born in 1975, residing in Tan My Ha commune, Huong Son district), the owner of the vehicle, to come to work.

During the investigation, Ms. V. admitted that her actions were due to lack of knowledge, following her friends' instructions to use black tape to change her license plate to avoid the cameras that fined her on the roads in the area.
