Which of the following vehicles can you ride when you hold an AM-category driving licence?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. A light four-wheeled vehicle (microcar, quad).
Explanation
In the photo, there is the back of a driving licence with dates entered only next to category AM. With a category AM driving licence, you are allowed to drive a light quadricycle (light four-wheeled vehicle) - answer B.
Category AM covers a moped and a light quadricycle, that 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, A2 or A. "Any scooter" (answer C) is a trap - a scooter is an everyday name for the shape of a vehicle, not a legal category. A scooter with an engine of up to 50 cm3 and a speed of up to 45 km/h is a moped, but a 125 cm3 scooter is already a motorcycle, for which you need category A1 or category B held for at least 3 years. Before you get on someone else's scooter, check in the vehicle registration certificate whether it is a moped or a motorcycle.
