Now it’s official: if the traffic police stop you with a license that is not suitable for the type of vehicle you are driving, they cannot fine you. The law provides for it in these cases.
Each type of vehicle has its own licence. But, one thing is certain: to drive on public roads you need to be in possession of this document.
Each vehicle has its own licence
The category B of the driving license is the most widespread and which allows those who obtain it to get behind the wheel of any car that has up to nine seats, including that of the driver. Obviously, as everyone knows, there are numerous driving license categories ranging from A to E.
To drive two-wheeled and three-wheeled mopeds is required the AM license obtainable from the age of 14. Then there is the A license which is used to drive all types of motorcycles with engine capacity exceeding 50 CC. It is possible to obtain this type of document from the age of 21, for vehicles with power up to 15 kW, and from the age of 24 for motorcycles with engine capacity exceeding 50 CC. If the person who wants to obtain this license has already obtained the A2 type, he can, however, access the license exam even at the age of twenty.
The patent A1 serves, however, for motorcycles up to 125 CC and that A2 for two-wheeled vehicles up to 35 kW. Then there is the license B 96 which allows the driving of trucks with non-light trailers that can reach up to 4.25 tons achievable from 18 years.
The license B is for light trailers and B1 for light quadricycles available from the age of 16. Then there is the licence C for transporting things even with light towing up to 750 kg and the D license for vehicles used for the transport of people over eight passengers with a light trailer.

On the back of the document, in fact, it will be noted that the ” EU code is harmonized 78″: to the driver, therefore, will be prevented from driving manual transmission vehicles.
Mom, due to a regulatory vacuum, Article 116 paragraph 5, which explains that anyone who has obtained a driving license with an automatic transmission cannot drive a vehicle with gears, does not include any penalties. So here’s the reason why If they find you with a non-rearshifting licence, you won’t risk a fine until, of course, the law was revised and corrected.
