Nguyen Van A, a resident of Ha Dong, shared: “When I first bought my motorcycle, I was clueless about license plate laws.

General Regulations for Motorcycle License Plates

According to the Road Traffic Law, a motorcycle license plate is an essential document required for participation in traffic. The plate must be securely fastened, correctly positioned, clearly visible, and free from obstruction, erasure, or modification.

License Plate Placement:

• Motorcycles: On the rear of the vehicle, perpendicular to the road surface and at least 15cm above the ground.
• Electric Motorcycles: Similar to motorcycles, but the license plate size may be smaller.

Common Violations:

• Incorrect Placement or Size: Did you know some riders like to install what is a KT license plate? However, this is a violation of the law.
• Obscuring or Bending the License Plate: Some individuals intentionally bend their license plates for aesthetic purposes, making the information unclear.
• Using a Fake or Incorrect License Plate: This is a serious offense and can result in severe penalties.

Penalties:

Depending on the severity of the violation, fines can range from a few hundred thousand to several million VND, and may even include temporary vehicle impoundment.

The Spiritual Significance of License Plates

Vietnamese people value spirituality, and license plates are no exception. Many believe that a beautiful, feng shui-compliant license plate will bring luck and prosperity to its owner. For example, plates with numbers like 68 (prosperity), 39 (minor god of fortune), 79 (major god of fortune) are often sought after.

Le Van Binh, a feng shui expert in Hanoi, said: “Choosing a license plate based on spiritual factors reflects the cultural beauty of the Vietnamese people. However, we should maintain an objective perspective and avoid excessive superstition.”

Important Notes When Installing a Motorcycle License Plate:

• Carefully inspect the license plate for defects before installation.
• Visit reputable shops or dealerships for assistance with proper installation.
• Protect the license plate from fading, breakage, or damage.
