Minister of Transport requests to increase driving practice time
The General Department of Roads was assigned to study increasing training time for driving students with lessons on highways, densely populated areas...
At the meeting on training, testing and granting driving licenses on July 9, Ms. PMs. Han Thi Thu Hien, Deputy Director General of the Roads Department, said that the agency has repeatedly researched to improve the quality of driver training and testing, and shorten training time.
In Vietnam, the training time for B2 driver's license was previously 6 months, now it has been reduced to over 3 months; andIn countries like Japan or Singapore, the B2 training time is only one month.
Mr. Le Thanh Ha, Chief Inspector of the Ministry of Transport, said that currently, the practical driving test in the picture and on the road is automatically scored and monitored by a camera system. However, many training facilities have not strictly followed the time, content and training program; there is a phenomenon of teaching theory superficially, teaching practice not according to the training program, and not ensuring the time for practical study.

According to Mr. Ha, there should be regulations for installing journey monitoring devices on driving practice cars to monitor time, program content and practice kilometers.
In addition, the Chief Inspector of the Ministry of Transport proposed installing a fingerprint recognition system in specialized classrooms and driving practice cars to manage teachers' teaching time and students' practice time.
Speaking at the meeting, Minister of Transport Nguyen Van The said that in Vietnam,Each car has 4-5 people studying together so even thoughThe regulation of 34 hours of practice means that in reality, students spend more time sitting in the car than holding the steering wheel. Therefore, he is concerned.Students are licensed but it is difficult to drive in all terrains and densely populated areas.
He requested the functional unit to review both theoretical and practical training content and add it to the theoretical training program.Types of constructions that have been built a lot recently such ashighways, road tunnels, large-span overpasses...CTesting centers need to apply technology to manage each student's practical time in the driving range and on the road.
"The General Department of Roads is studying increasing the training time for long-distance driving, driving on many terrains, especially through densely populated areas, mountain passes, and slopes because just a little carelessness can cause an accident," said Mr. The.
The Ministry of Transport's leaders also suggested that students should be scored on their awareness during practice and violations each session, then added together for specific consideration instead of just being reminded as is currently the case.
Currently, the rate of students passing the driving test is 65%. Before applying information technology, the passing rate was over 90%.
