What category driving license should you have when driving a four-wheeled vehicle other than a light one?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. B1.
Explanation
A quadricycle other than a light one is a quad-type vehicle or a microcar with an unladen mass of up to 400 kg (550 kg when carrying goods) - heavier and faster than a light quadricycle. To drive it you need a category B1 driving licence. The correct answer is A.
The Vehicle Drivers Act assigns the quadricycle to category B1 and the light quadricycle to category AM. Category A entitles you to drive a motorcycle and category AM vehicles, so it is not enough for a quad other than a light one. Category B allows you to drive any motor vehicle up to 3.5 t, and therefore also a quadricycle, so a regular car driver can also drive it - but the lowest category that allows this is B1.
Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 point 1 letter b, point 4, point 5 letter a and point 6 letter a of the Vehicle Drivers Act (ustawa o kierujących pojazdami)
