Use of Small Engines with B Driving License
The Turkish government has recently made amendments to the Highway Traffic Regulation, allowing individuals with a ‘B’ class driving license to operate motorcycles up to 125 cc, under specific conditions. This new regulation was published in the Official Gazette, marking a significant change in the country’s traffic laws.
Previously, the ‘B’ class driving license only allowed individuals to operate motor vehicles such as cars, vans, and small trucks. However, with the new amendment, license holders will now have the opportunity to also ride motorcycles with an engine capacity of up to 125 cc. This change is expected to expand the options for transportation and provide more flexibility for individuals looking to commute in urban areas.
It’s important to note that there are certain conditions that need to be met in order to operate a motorcycle with a ‘B’ class license. These conditions may include additional training or a separate endorsement on the license. The government aims to ensure that individuals are properly trained and equipped to handle motorcycles before granting them this privilege.
This amendment comes as a welcome change for many individuals who may prefer the convenience and maneuverability of a motorcycle for their daily commute. It also aligns with efforts to promote sustainable and efficient modes of transportation in urban areas.
As the new regulation takes effect, it is important for all individuals to familiarize themselves with the specific conditions and requirements for operating a motorcycle with a ‘B’ class license. By doing so, they can ensure both their safety and compliance with the law.
