Many transport businesses exceed the speed limit thousands of times every month, with vehicles that repeatedly offend having their badges taken off.
Violated hundreds of times but still not fined
Passenger car license plate number 50F-004.83 collided with a 16-seater car on Highway 20 in Dong Nai Province (September 30) and exceeded the speed limit 321 times in May 2023, and its badge was revoked. The garage applied for a new badge, but in June it violated it 114 times and was stripped of its badge again. In July this car violated the speed limit 61 times.
The traffic violation vehicle lookup system through images of the traffic police department recorded that this vehicle had only one violation by the police “driving faster than the prescribed speed by more than 20 km/h to 35 km/h”. Detected in Lam Dong Province at 6:01 pm on 23 July 2023, in “Not Yet Approved” status.
Passenger cars with license plate number 51B-254xx from another bus company also committed speeding violations 1,551 times, but the traffic police’s cold penalty system did not register any violations. This vehicle was recorded for speeding violations 9 times (the most recent violation was September 24, 2023, the oldest was March 9, 2021), all of which were in “not yet fined” status.
Knowing that detecting and dealing with violations by the traffic police today does not rely only on cold penalty cameras and that the camera system cannot cover them, but the above numbers show that there is no need for drivers to “be afraid” There is enough difference. Reason.
Share GPS data for timely processing
exchange with YouthA traffic expert said that GPS trip monitoring data on transportation business vehicles includes information about the vehicle’s journey such as: time, coordinates, speed… Moreover, it is also completely stored. Information about the driver, information about the number and time of stopping and parking… This travel data system can perfectly handle traffic violations handling, general management and information collection for multiple areas.
According to lawyer Le Thi Thuy (Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association), point B, Clause 3, Article 12 of Decree 10/2020/ND-CP guided by Clause 2, Article 10 of Circular 12/2020/TT-BGTVT Has gone.

Speaking on the issue, Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Anh Tuan – Director of the Viet Duc Transportation Research Center – said that GPS travel monitoring data, if used effectively, can improve the efficiency of passenger transportation management. Could. It is also effective in preventing drivers from committing traffic violations. Countries around the world have applied it very successfully in transportation business activities, limiting traffic violations and ensuring traffic safety.
In Ho Chi Minh City, if officials want to effectively implement GPS, they need three factors: One is to ensure that quality data is not lost or disrupted, or accompanied by location errors. Second, it is essential to invest in software that automatically analyzes data, detecting breaches and risks of breaches.
Third, there should be specific instructions on fines based on GPS data. Furthermore, enforcing such administrative fines requires coordination between vertical and horizontal sectors, the transport department and the local traffic police…
System has not been upgraded
For almost 10 years now, GPS data of millions of transportation business cars has been transmitted to the servers of Vietnam Road Administration to analyze and filter vehicles violating traffic rules in the areas.
This processing system has not been upgraded with new features suitable for the actual situation. On the other hand, at present the Vietnam Road Department has not shared or disseminated data among localities.
Local departments of transport are currently given only one shared account to access, check and update information on the system. This causes a major limitation as the functional departments of the local transport department do not have access and accounts for the process.
