Police identified a 26-year-old man who covered his motorbike's license plate, sexually harassed a girl standing at an alley entrance, then fled, receiving a 12 million VND fine.

The Traffic Police Department states that vehicle license plates obscured by mud due to objective factors during circulation will not be penalized.

Many drivers leave their license plates covered in mud for days, believing it is not an offense until they are fined, then they claim unavoidable circumstances.

If drivers can prove their license plates were obscured by mud due to recent weather conditions, it could be considered a force majeure event.
