Which of the following vehicles can you drive when you hold an AM-category driving licence?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. A light four-wheeled vehicle (microcar, quad).
Explanation
In the photo, there is the back of a driving licence: the dates (19.01.13 and 19.01.28) are entered only next to category AM. With a category AM driving licence, you can drive a light quadricycle (light four-wheeled vehicle) - answer C.
The Vehicle Drivers Act specifies that category AM entitles you to drive a moped and a light quadricycle. A light quadricycle is a quadricycle with an unladen mass of up to 350 kg whose design limits its speed to 45 km/h. A three-wheeled motorcycle (answer A) requires category A1 or A2 when its power is up to 15 kW, and a more powerful one requires category A; in Poland you can also drive it with category B held for at least 3 years. Not every quadricycle (answer B) falls within category AM - heavier or faster ones require category B1 or B. You can obtain a category AM driving licence at the age of 14.
