Minimum Age for a Category C Driving License in Vietnam

Under the breezy Long Bien Bridge, Mr. Ba, a seasoned truck driver with over 20 years of experience driving Dongfeng trucks, sipped his hot tea and told me stories about his early days in the profession. “Back then, to be able to hold the steering wheel of a truck as big as an elephant, I had to work hard and save up for a long time to afford a Category C driving license. Fortunately, I passed the test on the first try, otherwise, it would have been much more difficult,” Mr. Ba smiled gently, the wrinkles on his sunburnt face deepening.

Mr. Ba’s story reminded me of friends who dream of becoming truck drivers. A common question is: What is the minimum age to obtain a Category C driving license?
