Structure of the kegal knowledge test for restoration of driver license points in Vietnam from January 1, 2025

1. From 2025 in Vietnam, drivers whose licenses have lost all points must undergo a points restoration test

According to Article 58 of the Road Traffic Safety and Order Law 2024, the points of a driver license are used to manage compliance with road traffic safety and order laws. This system is based on a database for road traffic safety and order, consisting of 12 points.

The number of points deducted for each violation depends on the nature and severity of the traffic safety and order law violations.

When a driver license has lost all points, the holder is not allowed to operate a vehicle under that license. After a period of at least 6 months from the date of losing all points, the license holder is eligible to take a test assessing their legal knowledge of road traffic safety and order. If they pass, they can restore the full 12 points.

Thus, from January 1, 2025, holders of a driver license that has lost all points will be prohibited from operating a vehicle under that license.

However, those whose licenses have lost all points can participate in a legal knowledge test on road traffic safety and order to restore points after a period of at least 6 months from the date of losing all points.
