“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
B1 Cars with fewer than 9 seats 18 years old

Important Considerations Regarding Truck Driving Age

Adhering to age restrictions for truck driving is not only a legal obligation but also a responsibility to oneself and society.

  • Safety: Driving underage poses significant risks due to a lack of driving experience and underdeveloped skills in handling challenging situations.
  • Legal Consequences: Driving underage is a violation of the law and can result in fines or even criminal prosecution in the event of a serious accident.
