Is it fine to run a red light at the order of Vingroup’s security guard?
Recently, a video recording a traffic situation in the area of Minh Khai Street has caused a great controversy on social networks.
Specifically, a car driver, when meeting a red light signal, stopped the vehicle to comply. However, a security guard wearing a Vincom Securities shirt (of Vingroup) signaled to allow the car to run through a red light.
The driver did not follow the guard’s request, and decided to wait until the traffic light turned green before moving the vehicle to avoid being fined.
Witnessing this video, the social network immediately split into two commenting camps:
On one side, the driver did the right thing, because a guard does not have a traffic control function like the traffic police. Therefore, if you run a red light, the driver is at high risk of being fined.
“The law is only the traffic police can control the traffic, if you listen to the security, you will get the error of running a red light, then there is a dashcam that can’t be disputed with the law,” said one supporter of stopping lights. red said.
The other party believes that crossing the red light at the signal of the guard will not be fined, because this guard is supporting the traffic police, acting as a traffic controller.
“This is to protect Vingroup to support the traffic police. Before in Minh Khai or traffic jams, there were both Vingroup guards and traffic police supporting and getting permission from the traffic police, but people didn’t give a shit. “, another commented.
However, there are also objections, saying that if you are not a traffic policeman, but want to regulate traffic, you must at least wear a red ribbon on your hand.
Will Vincom’s protection for running a red light be fined?
It should be added that, the section of Minh Khai street opposite the Times City urban area is a place with high traffic density and frequent congestion. Therefore, Vingroup’s security force is often present here to support the traffic police. Following the instructions of the security force will help reduce congestion in this area.
However, the question of cold fines when running red lights is still causing a lot of controversy.
The fines for cars running red lights are prescribed under Point a, Clause 5, Article 5 of Decree No. 100/2019/ND-CP. Accordingly, the driver who makes the mistake of running a red light as well as failing to obey the signal of the traffic light may be subject to an administrative fine of between VND 3,000,000 and 5,000,000.
In addition, the driver is also subject to additional penalties. According to Points b and c, Clause 11 of Article 5, cars violating traffic lights will be deprived of the right to use their driving licenses for 1-3 months. In case of failure to comply with traffic lights and cause an accident, the driver’s license will be revoked for 2-4 months.
