The Ministry of Public Security has proposed amendments and supplements to Decree 168/2024/NĐ-CP dated 26 December 2024, which sets out administrative penalties for violations of road traffic order and safety, including point deductions and the restoration of driving license points. The draft decree is intended to remove obstacles in the legal framework and ensure consistent enforcement of relevant laws.
The proposed decree would govern administrative violations in road traffic, including the types of violations, forms of sanctions and specific fines; the authority to prepare violation records and impose penalties; procedures for deducting points and restoring driving license points; and the scope and subjects of application. It applies to Vietnamese individuals and organizations and to foreign individuals and organizations that commit traffic violations on Vietnamese territory.
It also specifies the competent authorities empowered to record violations, impose penalties, and oversee implementation, as well as the authorities responsible for point deduction and restoration of driving license points.
The draft decree consists of 20 Articles:
The core contents of the draft include the following adjustments:
The draft would modify violations to align with Article 7 of the Law on amending and supplementing ten related laws concerning safety and order in road transport. It covers drivers and transport business entities, including compliance with vehicle monitoring devices and driver image capture systems, ensuring driving-time limits, and prohibiting penalties on drivers for noncompliance with child safety devices.
The draft would adjust penalties for road transport business vehicles to conform to the road transport law.
The draft would clarify violations to support comprehensive and consistent enforcement under the road transport law. Examples cited include:
The draft would redefine the authority to penalize driving-license-related violations where traffic authorities have transitioned regulatory responsibility from other ministries to the Public Security sector. It also references issues related to examination software, testing devices, and testing venues.
The draft would adjust penalties for certain positions and agencies to reflect a unified regulatory framework.
The draft decree is currently under public comment by the Ministry of Public Security. It sets out baseline legal adjustments and enforcement mechanisms intended to strengthen compliance and road-transport safety, including reforms to the structure and content of administrative penalties and the related enforcement process.
