No traffic jam, vehicle inspectors wait for vehicles to be inspected

Inspection centers in Ho Chi Minh City cool down after automatic registration extension

After Circular 08/2023/TT-BGTVT amending and supplementing a number of articles of Circular No. 16/2021/TT-BGTVT of the Ministry of Transport regulating the technical safety and environmental protection inspection of road motor vehicles officially took effect, VTC News reporters noted on June 13 that at a number of inspection centers, the situation of overload and congestion no longer existed.

At the 50-05V Inspection Center, Hong Ha branch, Tan Binh district, Ho Chi Minh City, the number of vehicles coming for inspection has decreased significantly compared to before. Inspectors sit and rest, waiting for customers. There are some times of the day when there are few vehicles coming for inspection. Vehicles coming for inspection can enter the line immediately, without having to wait in line.

The few vehicles lined up outside the Hong Ha Inspection Center yard were all vehicles that had completed the inspection process and were waiting for new stickers.

Inside the waiting room for submitting documents for vehicle inspection, there were only a few vehicle owners waiting their turn.

According to records, most of the vehicles coming for inspection here today are not on the list of vehicles that are automatically extended for inspection period according to Circular 08/2023/TT-BGTVT.

In the past few days, cars were often lined up in the waiting area, waiting for their turn to be inspected. However, there were only about a dozen cars waiting to be inspected according to their appointment.

Inside the inspection area.

An employee of this inspection center said that from this morning until noon, the center had only completed inspection procedures for about 40 cars. There were even times when the inspection area was empty, with inspectors sitting and waiting for cars to come in for inspection.

It is known that this center has 6 inspectors, with a capacity to inspect 120 vehicles/day, but in recent days it has only inspected about 80 vehicles per day.

Since the center does not accept appointments via the app, the number of vehicles queuing for inspection reflects the actual decrease in demand. The new circular has immediately reduced the workload at the inspection centers.

Mr. Nguyen Chi Linh, in charge of the 50-05V Vehicle Inspection Center, said that right after some vehicles were automatically allowed to have their inspection cycles extended, the number of previously registered vehicles that did not come for inspection accounted for nearly half of the number of vehicles that the center received appointments for each day.

The situation at the 50-03S Vehicle Inspection Center in Thu Duc City is also clear. The leader of this vehicle inspection center said that since Circular 08/2023 was applied, the center has cooled down significantly compared to before, partly due to the decrease in the number of private vehicles coming for inspection.

Vehicle owners who had scheduled their vehicle inspections all arrived on time, many arrived earlier than their scheduled time because they were worried that the procedures would take too long. However, because the number of vehicles was not too crowded, the waiting time was shortened.

At this center, around 9am, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tri (living in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City) brought his car in for inspection right away, without having to wait in line.

"When I came to get the inspection done, I didn't expect the center to be this empty. My car was just behind another car in the inspection area, so it was my turn. I didn't have to wait much. I think everyone should take advantage of this time to get their inspection done, it will save a lot of time, " said Thanh Tri.

The situation at the 50-03S Inspection Center in Thu Duc City is also clear.

According to the reporter's records, most of the vehicles coming to this center for inspection today are personal vehicles whose inspections have expired, trucks, and commercial transport vehicles.

Mr. Tran Mau Thanh Trung - Deputy Director of Inspection Center 50-12D (Binh Chanh District) said that since the automatic extension of inspection was officially applied, the center has also recorded a number of cases where vehicles had registered on the application but did not come for inspection.

The leader of the 50-12D Vehicle Inspection Center also said that, at this time, if a personal vehicle is in the group with an extended inspection cycle and the vehicle owner does not need to come to the center for inspection, they should proactively cancel the previously successfully registered schedule.

There are times when the inspection area is empty and the inspectors wait for the vehicles to come in for inspection.

" Any vehicle owner who no longer intends to bring their vehicle to the inspection center should proactively cancel their appointment early. This will create a free schedule for vehicle owners whose vehicles have expired to be able to have their inspections done earlier," said Mr. Trung.

Mr. Bui Hoa An, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport, informed that the city has about 200,000 vehicles that will have their registration automatically extended for another 6 months according to Circular 08/2023/TT-BGTVT.

In addition, Ho Chi Minh City still has nearly 100,000 vehicles whose registration has expired since previous months but has not been renewed. Among them are many private vehicles, commercial vehicles for transporting goods and passengers.

" Hopefully, the automatic registration renewal will help Ho Chi Minh City reduce the huge pressure in the next 6 months. During that time, the centers will focus on prioritizing the number of expired vehicles to help people and businesses reduce losses," said Mr. An.
