How is the Use of an Umbrella While Riding a Bicycle Penalized?

Based on Clause 1, Article 8 of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP, which prescribes penalties for operators of bicycles, electric bicycles (including electric bikes), and other rudimentary vehicle operators who violate traffic rules as follows:

1. A fine ranging from VND 80,000 to VND 100,000 shall be imposed on operators of vehicles committing one of the following violations:

h) Operators of bicycles, electric bicycles using umbrellas or mobile phones; carrying passengers on bicycles, electric bicycles using umbrellas;

For this violation, if the violator is detected by law enforcement agencies, they may be subject to a monetary fine ranging from VND 80,000 to VND 100,000.
