Explanation
In the photo, there is the back of a driving licence on which only category A1 has been entered, with the issue date 19.01.13 and the expiry date 19.01.28. With a category A1 driving licence, you can ride a three-wheeled motorcycle with a power not exceeding 15 kW - answer A.
The Vehicle Drivers Act states that a category A1 driving licence entitles you to drive a motorcycle with an engine displacement of up to 125 cm3, a power of up to 11 kW and a power-to-unladen-mass ratio of up to 0.1 kW/kg, a three-wheeled motorcycle with a power of up to 15 kW, and category AM vehicles. A quadricycle with an unladen mass of 550 kg (answer B) requires category B1 or B - this is the upper limit for a quadricycle designed to carry goods. A slow-moving vehicle (answer C) is driven on the basis of category T, and in Poland also category B, C1, C, D1 or D. You can obtain category A1 from the age of 16.
