On 7/8, Bac Ninh provincial traffic police documented and impounded a pickup truck using the fake license plate 98A-968.68. The vehicle owner resides in Luc Nam commune, Bac Ninh province.
The truck was recorded running a red light on the evening of 29/4 by Bac Ninh province's traffic camera system. The Bac Ninh Provincial Police Department of Traffic Police immediately issued a violation notice to the registered owner.
However, upon receiving the notice, the Luc Nam resident responded that the vehicle registered in their name was a Daewoo Matiz, not the pickup truck in the violation video.
