Starting next year, the new Road Traffic Safety and Order Law will officially take effect. Each driver’s license will have 12 points, and points will be deducted depending on the nature and severity of the road traffic safety violation.
When a driver’s license runs out of points, the holder will no longer be allowed to operate a vehicle on the road under that license.
After a minimum of six months from the date of losing all points, the license holder can take a test on road traffic safety law. If they pass, their license will be restored to 12 points.
Theory Test with Failing Questions
According to Circular 65 issued by the Ministry of Public Security, the test to restore points on a driver’s license will consist of two parts: a theoretical test on legal knowledge and a test on legal knowledge through simulation.
The number of multiple-choice questions in each theoretical test will range from 25 to 40, depending on the class of the participant’s license.
To pass, participants must answer a minimum of 21 to 41 questions correctly, depending on their license class, and they must also answer the failing question correctly. If they meet these requirements, their driver’s license will be restored to 12 points.

For example, a participant with an A1 license that has lost all points will take a test with 25 questions in 19 minutes. They must answer 21 out of 25 questions correctly and also answer the failing question correctly to pass.
The B1 and B2 license classes have a similar number of questions and time limit, but participants must answer 23 out of 25 questions correctly, along with the failing question, to pass. For the B license class, the time limit is 20 minutes, and participants must answer 27 out of 30 questions correctly, including the failing question.
In the legal knowledge test through simulation, the time limit is 10 minutes, and participants will encounter 10 potential road safety scenarios presented as simulated questions.

Each simulated question is worth a maximum of 5 points and a minimum of 0 points. To pass, participants must score a minimum of 35 points in the legal knowledge test through simulation.
Similar to the Licensing Examination
For those with a two-wheel vehicle license that has lost all points, passing the theoretical test on legal knowledge is sufficient to restore the 12 points on their license.
However, for those with a car license that has lost all points, the license will only be restored to 12 points if they pass both the theoretical test on legal knowledge and the legal knowledge test through simulation.
Similar to the procedure for obtaining a driver’s license, participants must first pass the theoretical test on legal knowledge before proceeding to the legal knowledge test through simulation.
If a participant passes the theoretical test but fails the simulation test, their result on the theoretical test will be valid for one year.
If a participant fails the tests, they can re-take them after seven working days from the date of the previous test.

Also, starting January 1, 2025, there will be changes to the driver’s license system.
The A1 license will be granted to those driving two-wheel motorcycles with a cylinder capacity of up to 125 cc or an electric motor power of up to 11 kW. The A license will be for those driving two-wheel motorcycles with a cylinder capacity of over 125 cc or an electric motor power of over 11 kW.
The previous B1 and B2 license classes will be merged into the B license class, which will be granted to those driving cars with up to 8 seats (excluding the driver), trucks, and specialized vehicles with a total weight of up to 3.5 tons.
The B1 license will be for those driving three-wheel motorcycles and vehicles specified in the A1 license class.
The A1, A, and B1 licenses will be valid indefinitely, while the B and C licenses will be valid for 10 years from the date of issue.
