Road Traffic Order and Safety Law

The Road Traffic Order and Safety Law 2024, effective from January 1, 2025, is a crucial legal framework aimed at raising public awareness and ensuring traffic safety. Comprising 9 chapters and 89 articles, the law outlines clear regulations on everything from public education to penalty enforcement.

Key Provisions

• Increased Penalties
  Dangerous behaviors such as drunk driving and drug use are subject to stricter penalties, with updated fines better aligned with real-world conditions.
• Traffic Knowledge Test
  According to Circular 65/2024/TT-BCA, violators wishing to restore their driving license points must take a theory test (25 questions, minimum 21 correct answers, with 1 mandatory question that must not be failed).
• Traffic Education Integration
  Traffic law education is incorporated into schools and community programs to promote early awareness and long-term compliance.
• Flexible Vehicle Registration
  Individuals without permanent or temporary residence can now register vehicles at their current place of living. The procedures have been simplified and can be completed online or via postal services.

Impact on Citizens

The law contributes to reducing traffic accidents and building a more civilized traffic environment. Strict enforcement and mandatory knowledge testing encourage compliance, while flexible registration procedures support people in remote areas.
