Towing a Trailer in Hanoi: A Comprehensive Guide

“Which trailer can my truck tow?” This seemingly simple question often leaves drivers scratching their heads. Which vehicles are allowed to tow trailers? What’s the appropriate driver’s license? XE TẢI HÀ NỘI answers all your questions about towing a trailer in this comprehensive guide.

Which Vehicles Can Tow a Trailer?

Not every vehicle can tow a trailer. To ensure road safety and comply with regulations, consider the following:

• Permitted Vehicle Types: Not all cars are allowed to tow trailers. Regulations stipulate that only trucks, specialized vehicles, and tractor-trailers are permitted to tow.
• Towing Capacity: Each vehicle has a specific towing capacity. Exceeding this limit puts you and others at risk.
• Vehicle Registration: Ensure your vehicle registration clearly states the permissible trailer type and maximum towing capacity.

Required Driver’s License for Towing a Trailer

Driving a vehicle with a trailer requires professional driving skills and the appropriate driver’s license. Here’s information on the required licenses:

• FC License: Authorizes drivers to operate vehicles towing trailers with a gross vehicle weight or permissible towing capacity (as specified in the Road Motor Vehicle Technical Safety and Environmental Protection Certificate) up to 7,500 kg.
• FB2 License: Required for drivers operating vehicles towing trailers with a gross vehicle weight or permissible towing capacity (as specified in the Road Motor Vehicle Technical Safety and Environmental Protection Certificate) exceeding 7,500 kg.

Essential Tips for Safe Trailer Towing

Towing a trailer demands greater focus and experience than driving a regular vehicle. Keep these tips in mind for a safe journey:

• Thorough Pre-Trip Inspection: Always inspect your vehicle and trailer’s tires, brakes, lights, and coupling system before each trip.
• Maintain a Safe Following Distance: Vehicles towing trailers require a longer braking distance. Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead to react to unexpected situations.
• Caution When Turning and Changing Lanes: Remember you’re operating a longer vehicle. Observe carefully, use your turn signals, and maneuver slowly and smoothly.

Spirituality and Vehicles: Choosing a Lucky License Plate for Your Tow Truck

Vietnamese culture values spirituality, especially when choosing license plates. Some believe a lucky license plate brings good fortune and prosperity. Consult a feng shui expert or research the meaning of numbers to select a suitable license plate.
