Is it correct to fine 2 million VND for a car driver transporting dangerous goods without a permit?

According to the provisions of Clauses 2, 3, and 4, Article 26 of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP, a fine ranging from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 VND shall be imposed on car drivers conducting the act of transporting hazardous goods without a permit or with a permit but not complying with the permit, except for violations stipulated in point a of clause 6, Article 23 of this Decree.

- In addition to the monetary fine, operators of vehicles committing violations specified in clauses 1 and 2 of this Article will also be subject to an additional penalty: revocation of the driver's license for a period ranging from 01 to 03 months.

- Aside from being subject to penalties, individuals who commit violations specified in clauses 1 and 2 of this Article, if environmental pollution is caused, will also be required to take remedial actions: Mandated to implement measures to remedy the environmental pollution caused by administrative violations.

Therefore, in the case where a car driver conducts the act of transporting hazardous goods without a permit, they may be fined from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 VND, have their driver's license revoked for a period ranging from 01 to 03 months, and if environmental pollution is caused, are required to implement measures to remedy the environmental pollution.

The specific fine amount for an administrative violation is the median of the fine range stipulated for that violation; if mitigating circumstances are present, the fine may be reduced but not below the minimum of the fine range; if aggravating circumstances are present, the fine may be increased but not exceeding the maximum of the fine range (Clause 4, Article 23 of the Law on Handling Administrative Violations).

Hence, the decision on a fine of 2 or 3 million depends on the severity of the violation.

Respectfully!
