Is it permissible to operate tracked vehicles on public roads in Vietnam? What are the fines for directly operating tracked vehicles on public roads in Vietnam? What are regulations on operating tracked vehicles on public roads in Vietnam?
Hello Lawnet. I just bought a combine harvester to serve people in the off-season. Yesterday, when I runned the machine to the field, the police pulled me over. They told me that my vehicle was a tracked vehicle, so it was not allowed to run on the street. They made a record to fine me. I want to ask: Is it permissible to operate tracked vehicles on public roads? What are the fines for directly operating tracked vehicles on public roads/
Thank you!
