Through inspection, the legal regulations in the training, testing and issuance of driver's licences will also be reviewed to see if any corruption or standing issue is present.
Accordingly, the Ministry of Transport has assigned the Directorate for Roads of Vietnam and municipal/provincial transport departments with organising the inspection and examination of driver training institutions and driving examination centres under their jurisdiction.
The country currently has 149 driving examination centres, 343 centres for car driving training, and 463 centres for motorbike driving training.
The transport ministry has also recently sent a document to all municipal and provincial authorities on the prevention of corruption and tightening management of driving licences, noting that this activity "has great impact on the society and directly affects people, transport units, traffic safety and traffic accidents," and that this is an area with high risks of corruption.
The ministry also seeks to modernise the driving education activities with more widespread and comprehensive application of information technology./.
