“Golden steering wheel” – a dream of many, especially young people who have just turned 18. The excitement of holding the steering wheel and confidently driving a car on the road is truly indescribable. But what is the age limit for learning to drive a car? What preparations are needed to conquer the dream of “four wheels”? Let’s find out with XE TẢI HÀ NỘI in the article below!

Age Requirements for Driving Licenses in Vietnam

According to current regulations, the age limit for learning to drive a car in Vietnam is 18 years old and above. This means you can register for driving lessons as soon as you turn 18.

Mr. Nguyen Van A, a driving instructor at Sao Do Driving School (Cau Giay, Hanoi) said: “We receive many young people who come to inquire and register for driving lessons as soon as they turn 18. This shows that the demand for learning to drive is increasing, especially among young people.”

Why Is There an Age Limit for Driving?

The age limit for driving is not just a formality but stems from very practical reasons:

• Physical & Psychological Development: At the age of 18, the body has developed relatively fully, ensuring physical strength and quick reflexes when operating a vehicle. In addition, at this age, young people also have more awareness and responsibility when participating in traffic.
• Legal Requirements: Clear regulations on the age limit for driving contribute to ensuring traffic safety and minimizing unnecessary accidents due to lack of driving skills.
