On the morning of February 2, a representative from the Department confirmed that recent viral posts suggesting such a proposal are entirely untrue. The image being circulated online was generated using artificial intelligence and falsely linked to the alleged fine proposal.

The Department warned that individuals or organizations involved in spreading or disseminating false information online will be held accountable under Vietnamese law. This incident follows a series of recent false claims on social media related to traffic regulations.
