Which Driving License Is the Highest in Vietnam?

My friend, a long-time truck driver in Hanoi, often jokes that “our job is hard, but we get to travel all over the country and see the sights.” Watching him smoothly navigate his Hyundai truck loaded with goods on Truong Chinh Street, I suddenly became curious: “Which driving license is the highest?” He laughed and said: “Do you want to be a container truck driver like me?”. Our conversation that day sparked my interest in learning about the different types of driving licenses in Vietnam.

Driving License Categories: From A1 to FC – “Ranking” on Every Road

A driving license is not just a “permit” but also demonstrates the driver’s proficiency and vehicle control skills. So, which driving license is the highest? Let’s “decode” the driving license system in Vietnam:

1. Car Driving License Categories

• B1 License: The most common type, allows driving passenger cars with fewer than 9 seats (including vans and pickup trucks).
• B2 License: An “upgrade” from B1, allows driving passenger cars with up to 30 seats and trucks under 3.5 tons.
• C License: For “heavy-duty drivers,” allows driving trucks weighing 3.5 tons or more and tractor-trailers.
• D License: Allows driving passenger vehicles with 10 seats or more (buses).
• FC License: The “ultimate” driving license, allows driving container trucks – the “king” of the road.

2. Motorcycle Driving License Categories

• A1 License: For motorcycles with engine displacement from 50cc to under 175cc.
• A2 License: Allows driving large motorcycles with engine displacement of 175cc or more.

Driving License “Face-Off”

Note: Salary is for reference only and depends on many factors such as experience, vehicle type, and working area.

FC – The “King” of Driving Licenses

So, it’s clear, the FC license is the “highest” driving license in Vietnam. Holding this license means you can drive all types of vehicles, from passenger cars to the “king” of containers.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van A, a driving instructor at Saigon Driving School, to obtain an FC license, in addition to passing rigorous tests, learners need to have good health, strong mental fortitude, and especially “superior” driving skills.

Bringing a Truck Home: Feng Shui and Things to Consider

Vietnamese people often value spiritual and feng shui elements. When “bringing” a truck home, many people choose auspicious dates and colors that match their destiny to pray for luck and prosperity in their business.

Ms. Lan, the owner of a grocery store on Hang Buom Street, shared: “When I bought a Thaco Towner truck for delivery, I also chose an auspicious day and the color red to match my fire element. Since having the truck, my business has been much more prosperous.”
