Avoiding Speeding Tickets in Vietnam: A Guide for Drivers

Early this year, a friend of mine, driving a Hyundai HD 99 truck carrying construction materials on Pham Van Dong Street, passing through Cau Giay District, was in a hurry to deliver his goods on time. He unintentionally exceeded the speed limit. As a result, he was pulled over by the traffic police and fined a hefty sum. His story reminded me of the concerns I and many other drivers share when participating in traffic, especially regarding speeding violations.

To help drivers better understand traffic laws and avoid unfortunate situations that lead to fines and penalties, this article will provide detailed information about speeding violations for automobiles.

Speeding Concerns and Essential Information for Drivers

Speed Limit Regulations for Vehicles in Vietnam

According to the Vietnamese Road Traffic Law, speed limits for vehicles are determined based on the specific type of road and vehicle. Understanding these regulations is crucial to avoid violations.

Examples:

• In residential areas: The maximum allowed speed is typically 40-50 km/h.
• On national highways: The maximum allowed speed can reach 80-90 km/h for cars and lower for trucks and buses.
• On expressways: The maximum speed can reach up to 120 km/h for certain types of cars.

Penalties for Speeding Violations

Penalties for speeding violations are clearly stipulated in Decree 100/2019/ND-CP. Depending on the severity of the violation (how many km/h over the speed limit), the vehicle owner will be fined from a few hundred thousand to tens of millions of Vietnamese Dong, and may even have their driver’s license suspended.

Note:

• The above fines are subject to change over time and specific regulations of each locality.
• Drivers should proactively update the latest information from official sources.

Consequences of Speeding

Speeding not only causes financial damage (fines) but also poses many dangers to the driver, passengers in the vehicle, and other road users.

Some serious consequences include:

• Traffic accidents: High speed reduces the driver’s ability to handle situations, increasing the risk of accidents.
• Loss of vehicle control: Speeding makes the vehicle difficult to control, easily leading to loss of steering and rollovers.
• Impact on vehicle lifespan: Frequently traveling at high speeds will cause the vehicle’s engine to deteriorate quickly.
