The police said they would fine the owners of 30 cars which illegally parked on the Hanoi-Hai Phong Highway to take wedding photos on June 7.
The representative of the Traffic Police Department’s Team 2 said, “We have been informed about the case but it was difficult to apply the fines in person. We’ll issue fines to the car owners using images from the security cameras. The cars have license plates from Hanoi so we’ll clarify the information and ask the car owners to go to the police stations to pay fines.”
Fines for such violations are from VND5m (USD200) to VND6m and drivers will be withdrawn licenses for two months. It’s difficult to deal with wedding and especially funeral vehicles that violate the traffic rules since no-one wants to cause disputes during such times.
“Parking on the highway is dangerous for everyone. We hope highway drivers will be more aware of the dangers and ensure traffic safety for themselves and other drivers,” said the representative of Vietnam Infrastructure Development and Finance Investment JSC, the manager of Hanoi-Hai Phong Highway.
At 9.45 am on June 7, 30 wedding cars casually parked on Hanoi-Hai Phong Highway when going through Hai Duong Province to take photos. They occupied three out of four lanes of the road whose speed limits are from 60 to 120 km/h and made other drivers upset.
