Legal Driving Age for Cars in Vietnam
“Holding the steering wheel is holding a life,” a common saying among truck drivers at the truck depot near Thanh Tri Bridge, serves as a constant reminder of road safety awareness. One crucial element of ensuring safety is meeting all driving requirements, including age regulations. So, what is the legal driving age in Vietnam?
Minimum Driving Age According to Vietnamese Law
According to current Vietnamese traffic laws, to obtain a car driver’s license (including trucks), you must meet the following requirements:
- Age:
- B1, B2 Licenses: At least 18 years old.
- C, D, E, FB2, FC, FD, FE Licenses: At least 21 years old.
- Health: Meet the required health standards.
- Driving Knowledge and Skills: Pass a driving test administered by a competent authority.
Therefore, you must be at least 18 years old to drive a B1 or B2 category car and at least 21 years old to drive trucks in categories C, D, and E.
Driving Age by License Category:
| License Category | Vehicle Type | Minimum Age |
|---|---|---|
