3 fastest ways to check online fines to avoid being denied vehicle inspection

Unexpectedly received a fine notice when going for vehicle inspection

Mr. Trinh Minh Thang (Hoa Binh) shared that he bought a car in Hoa Binh and then transferred his household registration to Hanoi. Last September, when he went to register his car, he unexpectedly received a notice of a fine for not obeying traffic signals.

"My car's registration is only 1 day away from expiring, so I have to do a temporary registration for 15 days to get my vehicle back. I was quite subjective because I didn't look up the fines before registering, and I didn't receive any notice from the authorities," Thang shared.

According to Mr. Thang, if there is a solution to notify vehicle owners of fines via an application or text message, it will be more convenient and people will not have to go back and forth many times to do vehicle inspection procedures.

In a similar situation, Mr. Nguyen Hong Giang (in Hoan Kiem, Hanoi) was surprised when he received a fine notice at the vehicle inspection center.

"Because I did not receive a notification letter from the authorities, I did not know I was being fined. If I had received the notification earlier, I would have handled it so as not to affect the vehicle inspection period," said Mr. Giang.
