Decree 100/2019/ND-CP amended by Decree 123/2021/ND-CP stipulates penalties for vehicles driving below the minimum speed.

Accordingly:

Point q, Clause 1, Article 6 of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP stipulates a fine of VND 100,000 to VND 200,000 for driving motorbikes and motorbikes below the minimum speed on roads with prescribed minimum speed limits.

Point d, Clause 2, Article 6 of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP, amended by Point 34, Article 2 of Decree 123/2021/ND-CP, stipulates an administrative fine of VND 300,000 to VND 400,000 for driving a motorbike or motor scooter at low speed without keeping to the right side of the roadway, causing traffic obstruction.

For cars, Point b, Clause 2, Article 5 of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP stipulates an administrative fine of VND 400,000 to VND 600,000 for driving a car at a lower speed than a vehicle going in the same direction without going to the right side of the road.

Point s, Clause 3, Article 5 of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP stipulates administrative fines from VND 800,000 to VND 1,000,000 for driving below the minimum speed on roads with prescribed minimum speed limits.

In addition, Point i, Clause 3, Article 7 of Decree 100/2019/ND-CP stipulates a fine of VND 400,000 to VND 600,000 for driving tractors and specialized motorbikes at a speed below the minimum speed on roads with a minimum speed limit.

Minimum speed signs are usually placed in areas that require high speed traffic. This will help vehicles move more smoothly and quickly. If the instructions on this sign are violated, the driver may be subject to administrative fines.

According to Regulation 41:2019/BGTVT, the minimum speed limit sign is denoted as R.306. This sign is circular, has a blue background and in the middle of the sign is a white minimum speed number.

This is also one of the traffic signs in the command sign group with the effect of signaling to traffic participants the mandatory rules to be followed.

Sign R.306 is used on roads to indicate the minimum speed allowed for motor vehicles. The number shown on the minimum speed sign is in km/h.

The minimum speed sign is mandatory for motor vehicles operating at a speed not less than the value indicated on the sign under favorable and safe conditions. Vehicles whose maximum speed as prescribed by the manufacturer does not reach the minimum permitted speed are not allowed to enter the road section marked with the R.306 sign.

Thus, just by looking at the number on the sign, the driver will know what speed he needs to follow.
