A1 Driving License in Vietnam: Understanding the Vehicle Restrictions

My friend Tuan, from Thanh Xuan, Hanoi, recently bought a small truck after years of saving.

Tuan’s situation raises a common question: what engine capacity (cc) can you legally drive with an A1 license? Let’s delve into the details with Xe Tải Hà Nội.
