Under the new regulations stipulated in the Road Traffic Order and Safety Law, owners of a B1 driving license issued from January 1, 2025, onwards will not be permitted to drive cars.
The Road Traffic Order and Safety Law No. 36/2024/QH15, dated June 27, 2024, has been officially approved by the National Assembly. This law introduces changes to the classification of driving licenses, aligning with the 1968 Vienna Convention, to which Vietnam is a signatory. The new regulations will come into force on January 1, 2025, and divide driving licenses into 15 categories: A1, A, B1, B, C1, C, D1, D2, D, BE, C1E, CE, D1E, D2E, and DE. Consequently, from January 1, 2025, driving licenses in categories A2, A3, A4, B2, E, FB2, FD, FE, and FC will no longer be valid, and new categories, including A, C1, D1, D2, BE, C1E, CE, DE, D1E, and D2E, will be introduced.
