Why Use Fake License Plates? A Dangerous and Reprehensible Practice

Using fake license plates is not only a serious legal violation but also carries significant risks. So why do some individuals still take this dangerous gamble?

• Hiding in Plain Sight: Many believe fake plates will help them evade law enforcement and avoid penalties for traffic violations.
• Exploiting Loopholes: Some criminals use fake plates to commit crimes like theft, robbery, hit-and-run accidents, and then disappear.
• Lack of Awareness: In some cases, individuals unknowingly use fake plates due to a lack of legal knowledge or being deceived into buying vehicles with dubious origins.

The Reality: Illegal Activity and Severe Consequences

Under Vietnamese law, using fake license plates is a serious offense with severe penalties, including fines, license suspension, and even criminal prosecution depending on the severity of the violation.

Dr. Nguyen Van A, a leading traffic law expert, emphasizes: “Using fake license plates is a serious legal violation that disrupts public order and safety and must be dealt with decisively.” (Quoted from “Road Traffic Law – Urgent Issues,” Justice Publishing House, 2023).
