Is there a penalty for carrying two people on a vehicle for emergency medical treatment without wearing a helmet in Vietnam?
Is there a penalty for carrying two people on a vehicle for emergency medical treatment without wearing a helmet in Vietnam? What are penalties for not wearing a helmet in Vietnam in 2022?
Hello, I have an issue that needs clarification. I know that when participating in traffic, the person operating the motorbike is not allowed to carry 2 people behind the vehicle. But if there is a situation where that person has to carry 2 people: 1 person needs urgent medical care and 1 person sits with the person needing urgent medical care, another factor is that both of those people are not wearing helmets because they are in a hurry. So, is there a penalty for carrying two people on a vehicle for emergency medical treatment without wearing a helmet? What are penalties for not wearing a helmet in Vietnam in 2022?
Please advise. Thankyou.

At Point l Clause 2 Article 6 of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP amended by Point k Clause 34 Article 2 of Decree 123/2021/ND-CP, it is stipulated that penalties imposed upon operators of mopeds and motorcycles (including electric motorcycles) and the like violating road traffic rules are as follows:
2. A fine ranging from VND 300,000 to VND 400,000 shall be imposed upon a vehicle operator who commits any of the following violations:
l) Carrying two people on a vehicle, unless a person being carried is a person who needs urgent medical care, a child under 14 years of age, or a criminal being escorted;
According to Point o Clause 3 Article 6 of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP supplemented by Point b Clause 4 Article 2 of Decree 123/2021/ND-CP, penalties imposed upon operators of mopeds and motorcycles (including electric motorcycles) and the like violating road traffic rules are as follows:
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:
...
o) Carrying a person who does not wear a motorcycle helmet or does not wear the motorcycle helmet properly, unless that person is a patient who needs urgent medical care, a child under 06 years of age, or a criminal being escorted.
Therefore, in the case of transporting 2 people on a motorcycle and transporting a passenger without wearing a helmet, both are subject to penalties, but if it is a case of transporting a patient for urgent medical care, there is no violation of the law in Vietnam. Transporting 2 people for urgent medical care without wearing a helmet will not be fined.
