Fined 225,000 VND for driving an electric suitcase on the central streets of Ho Chi Minh City

On the morning of March 23, Ho Chi Minh City traffic police were patrolling and discovered a woman riding an electric suitcase on Le Duan Street, Ben Nghe Ward, so they stopped to check. This person said she was riding a motorized suitcase around town and did not know she had violated traffic laws.

Traffic police wrote a ticket and fined the woman 225,000 VND for using a scooter on the road, according to Decree 168. According to the police, using a suitcase with an integrated motor and battery on the road is a traffic violation because this vehicle is small in design, has no warning lights, and is prone to accidents when driving on the road.

Previously, a Chinese man drove an electric suitcase through the Nguyen Hue - Le Thanh Ton intersection in District 1, in the middle of a crowded traffic. This person had left the country on March 21, so the authorities have not been able to handle the case.
