- In case a learner upgrades his/her administrative violation in the field of road traffic with the form of revocation of the right to use a driver's license, the safe driving time is calculated from the date of completion of the violation sanctioning decisions.

Does taking a class C driver's license require a drug test in Vietnam?

I plan to take the class C driver's license test. A few years ago I used drugs. Now I have completely recovered from my addiction. So is there a drug test when I go for a medical check-up?

Clause 1, Article 9, Circular 12/2017/TT-BGTVT on training, testing, and issuance of road motor vehicle driving licenses stipulates as follows:

1. Learners that apply for the first license shall submit 01 application directly at the training institution, which consists of:

a) Application for learning, test and issuance of driving license according to form prescribed in Appendix 7 enclosed herewith;

b) The copy of people’s identity card, citizen’s identity card or unexpired passport for Vietnamese citizens; copy of unexpired passport for overseas Vietnamese;

c) The copy of passport valid for more than 06 months and temporary residence card/permanent residence card/diplomatic identity card/official identity card for foreigners;

d) Health certificates issued by competent medical facilities as prescribed.

Thus, in the application for training, testing, and issuance of a driver's license, test takers need to submit a health examination certificate in Vietnam.

And in Appendix 02 issued with Joint Circular 24/2015/TTLT-BYT-BGTVT regulating the form of driver's health certificate, including:

.....

III . PRECLINICAL EXAMINATION

examination content

Full name and signature of Doctor

1. Compulsory tests:

a) Drug testing

- Test Morphine/Heroin:……………………………………………………

- Amphetamine Test:……………………………………………………

- Methamphetamine test:………………………………………………

- Test Marijuana (cannabis):…………………………………………….

 

b) Blood or breath alcohol concentration test:………………

 

2. Tests are only performed when prescribed by a medical examiner: Hematology/biochemistry/X-ray and other tests.

a) Result:………………………………………………………………

 

b) Conclusion:…………………………………………………………...

 

Based on the above regulations in Vietnam, the health certificate will include a drug test. However, if you no longer use drugs, it will not affect your class C driver's license exam.

How old do drivers have to register for Class C driver's license in Vietnam?

Can you tell me how old you have to be to take the C-level exam? I was born in 2000, can I apply at the end of the year?

According to Circular 12/2017/TT-BGTVT, class C driving licenses are issued to drivers to operate the following types of vehicles:

8. C class licenses issued to drivers controlling following types of cars:

a) Trucks, including special trucks with design loading capacity from 3.500 kg and over;

b) Tractors hauling a trailer with design loading capacity from 3,500 kg and over;

c) Cars intended for B1 and B2 classes.

In the 2008 Road Traffic Law: People 21 years of age or older are allowed to drive trucks and tractors with a tonnage of 3,500 kg or more; Driving a class B2 vehicle pulling a trailer (FB2).

Thus, people who are 21 years old or older will be able to take the Class C driver's license test. According to your description, this year you were born in 2000, this year you are only 19 years old so you are not eligible to take the test in Vietnam.

Best regards!
