What's new in the set of 600 driving test questions applied from June 1?

Mr. Luong Duyen Thong - Director of the Department of Vehicles and Drivers (Vietnam Road Administration) said that the content of the new set of theoretical questions for the driving license test has increased to 600 questions based on the current set of 450 questions. This set of questions has been researched from many developed countries, eliminating some questions that are easy to learn by rote, memorize, and some questions that are not directly related to driving learners.

The new set of questions includes 8 chapters. The new point of this set of driving license test questions is the addition of a separate chapter. These are the failing questions. These questions will be shown in chapter 8, which includes 60 questions about serious traffic safety situations. If the test has 30 questions, the student gets 29 questions correct, but gets one wrong in the failing questions, he/she will fail the theory test.

"Very basic questions related to prohibited acts in the 2008 Road Traffic Law such as: handling situations at level crossings between roads and railways, driving when visibility is limited, driving techniques when going down long, steep slopes. If the driver does not know, handling the wrong way on the road will lead to very serious accidents," said Mr. Thong.

The set of questions for the new driving test has been adjusted, revised, supplemented, and compiled by the Vietnam Road Administration in accordance with the 2008 Road Traffic Law and the National Technical Regulation (QCVN 41:2019) on road signs. The Vietnam Road Administration has developed and revised the software for theoretical testing on computers for driving tests of cars and motorbikes of all classes and has a plan to train and transfer to the Departments of Transport, driving training facilities, and driving test centers for unified use nationwide.
