Are the cars honking after 22: 00 fined in Vietnam?
My name is Thi and I am a third year student. I would like to ask if the horn of the motorbike after 22: 00 will be fined for administrative violations in Vietnam? In the house I live in, every night someone comes home after 11pm and rings the horn to call someone to open the door.
Pursuant to Article 5 of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP regulating the sanctioning of car drivers and similar vehicles violating road traffic rules as follows:
1. A fine ranging from VND 200,000 to VND 400,000 shall be imposed upon a vehicle operator who commits any of the following violations:
...
g) Honking from 10 pm to 5 am in urban and residential areas, except for emergency vehicles on duty as per the law;
Pursuant to Clause 3, Article 6 of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP regulating the punishment of motorists, mopeds (including electric motorcycles), similar motorcycles and similar motorcycles violating the following road traffic rules:
3. A fine ranging from VND 400,000 to VND 600,000 shall be imposed upon a vehicle operator who commits any of the following violations:
a) Turning without slowing down or signaling (unless going along a curved segment where there is no level crossing);
b) Carrying 03 people or more on the vehicle;
c) Continuously honking, revving the engine in urban areas or residential areas, except for the emergency vehicles on duty;
...
Thus, according to current regulations, the use of vehicle horn after 22h for cars will be sanctioned in the form of a fine of from VND 200,000 to VND 400,000. For motorcycles, the honking during all hours in the residential area will be sanctioned in the form of a fine with a fine of from VND 400,000 to VND 600,000 in Vietnam.
Best Regards!
