Three-Wheeled Vehicle License Confusion in Belarus Sparks Debate

MINSK, BELARUS – The emergence of three-wheeled vehicles is becoming increasingly common in Belarus, raising questions about the appropriate driving license category. A recent video shows a man operating a 900kg tricycle, which handles like a car but is officially classified as a motorcycle. This classification requires a category 'A' license, irrespective of the vehicle's weight or features. "The answer we received from the traffic police was rather perplexing," stated the driver in the video. He argues that the current regulations are not equipped to handle the unique characteristics of heavier three-wheeled vehicles and suggests that a category 'B' license, typically required for cars, would be more fitting. This situation highlights the need for updated regulations to accommodate the growing presence of these vehicles on Belarusian roads. The incident underscores the ongoing need for clear and adaptable guidelines in the face of evolving transportation technology.
