Which of the following vehicles can you drive if you have a B1-category driving licence?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. A motorbike.
Explanation
In the photo you can see the back of a driving licence in which only category B1 has been entered, with the date of issue 19.01.13 and the expiry date 19.01.28. With a category B1 driving licence you may drive a moped - answer B.
The Vehicle Drivers Act states that a category B1 driving licence entitles you to drive a quadricycle and the vehicles covered by category AM, and category AM covers a moped and a light quadricycle. That is why with B1 you may also ride a moped. A passenger car (answer A) requires a category B driving licence, because it goes beyond the limits of a quadricycle. An agricultural tractor (answer C) is covered by category T, and on Polish territory also by categories B, C1, C, D1 and D - but not B1. Every category from AM upwards includes the AM entitlement, so anyone who has any driving licence may ride a moped.
Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 point 1, 5, 6 and 11 and para. 3 point 1 of the Vehicle Drivers Act (ustawa o kierujących pojazdami)
