Parliament examines bill obliging moped and quad-bike drivers to have licenses

A new bill has been proposed to the parliament on making driver’s license mandatory for all types of moped and quad-bike drivers.

A new AM category of transport will be introduced for mopeds and light quad-bikes.

Another new A2 sub-category will also include bikes with no more than 35 kWh power.

Regulations that are applicable towards other vehicles will also apply to mopeds and quad-bikes, which will have to be registered in the Service Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia

The legislative amendments will allow those under 18 to have AM (moped), T (tractor) and B1 (quad-bike) licenses.

The bill provides for a traditional period, which will end on January 1, 2020. During this period, drivers will be allowed to use mopeds and light quad-bikes without a driver’s license.
