Driving license category "B" give you the right to ride not only by car

Sometimes each of us is given the opportunity to get behind the wheel not only of your car. Especially on weekends, holidays or during vacation. But is it possible to manage other vehicles with the rights of "in"? It turns out that the most popular driver's category "B" gives many opportunities to find yourself driving not only a car.

Naturally, with the rights of the category "B" you can only take the steering wheel of some vehicles. In other cases, to have a legitimate ability to manage a difficult car, you need to get a corresponding transport area category or driver's office subcategory by passing training in a driving school and passing exams in the traffic police. Do not forget that if you board the steering wheel, for example, a cargo car with rights, in which only the category "B" is open, you can be brought to administrative responsibility for managing the vehicle without a driver's license (Article 12.7 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, faces a fine of 5,000 to 15,000 rubles).

Moreover, if you, sowing the wheel of a vehicle without the availability of the relevant category, will fall into an accident, in which you will not be blamed, you will not be able to get insurance compensation, because, most likely, you are recognized by the culprit of the accident, regardless of the circumstances of the road accident . In this case, the insurance company will pay damage to other participants in the accident, and you will receive a regressive requirement to get the amount paid with you earlier.

The same thing if you are with the rights of the category "B" got behind the wheel of a motorcycle. Do not forget that according to the legislation to manage the motorcycle, you must have the rights with the open category "A". Otherwise, sowing the wheel of a motorcycle with rights with the category "B", you, in fact, will manage the motorbike without a driver's license with all from here with arising.

What vehicles can be controlled with the driver's license of the category "B"?

First, we recall that the driver's license of the category "B", designed to admit to the management of passenger vehicles, are not limited to passenger cars. With such rights, you can also manage some other vehicles.

To begin with, let's remember what the category "B" in the driver's license and what vehicles are we talking about. As we all know, the driver's license of the category "B" give the right to control the passenger vehicles, the allowed maximum mass of which does not exceed 3,500 kilograms and the number of places in the car (in addition to the driver's seat) does not exceed 8.

Also drivers with the rights of the category "B" are allowed to drive passenger cars clutch with a trailer allowed maximum the mass of which does not exceed 750 kilograms.

Including the driver of the category "B" is allowed to control the passenger vehicles, lifted with the trailer the allowed maximum mass of which exceeds 750 kilograms, but does not exceed the mass of the car without load. True, this is possible only under the condition that the total permitted maximum mass of such a composition of vehicles (car + trailer) does not exceed 3.5 tons.

It should also be noted that the driver's license with the open category "B" admit the management of Motocoles.

But these are not all kinds of vehicles, to the management of which you are allowed to start with the driver's category "B". After all, there is also a subcategory "in 1" and "M", which can also be managed on legal grounds in the presence of driver's licenses, in which only one "in" -Category is open.

So, according to the current legislation, when obtaining the rights of the category "B", the driver automatically opens categories M and B 1, which gives the right to manage the following vehicles:

- tricycles

- Quadricycles

- Mopeds

- Lightweight quadricycles

Quadricycles ≠ Quadrocycles

Please note that quadricycles are not the same as quad bikes. Quadricycles are, in essence, motocoles that were distributed during the USSR. Today, this category of vehicles is almost forgotten. So it is unlikely that you will have the opportunity to get behind the wheel of these unusual vehicles.

Quad bike is another category of vehicles that are off-road motovisters, to control which special rights need to receive, and not in the traffic police. At the moment, their state-in-law in Russia is issued.

In what cases with the driver's license of the category "B" can not be managed by a mopder (scooter)?

Unfortunately, despite the fact that the "CATEGERIRY of the driver's license automatically opens the cars of passenger cars to control scooters, mopeds (that is, the category" M "is automatically assigned), not in all cases allowed to sit behind the steering wheel.

The thing is that sometimes in the driver's license in the 12th column of the reverse side of the driver's license, opposite the open category of rights, the service mark in the form of the Latin abbreviation "ML" is set.

For example, if in a line with an open category "B" in column 12, there are similar letters, this means that the driver is prohibited by the management of mopeds and scooters. That is, the letters "ML" in the driver's license directly prohibit the driver to sit behind the steering wheel. Usually, a similar mark is affixed by those drivers who cannot control the "M" category by medical records.

The most interesting thing is that the ML mark can even be affixed from those drivers who have no contraindications to manage this type of vehicles.

But how does this happen? Why do many drivers with the category "B" prohibit admission to mopeds / scooters?

The thing is that the categories of rights and various official marks in the driver's license are affixed on the basis of a medical certificate presented by the driver, which must be to have in the primary obtaining rights or when they are replaced.

The media is usually indicated by all categories of driver's license to which the driver has no contraindications to manage vehicles of relevant categories. Unfortunately, many medical centers simply do not put a mark about the category "M" in the medals, considering that those who have already opened the category "B" automatically have the right to control the "M" category vehicles.

But in some traffic police units, such an effect of medical centers is regarded as a ban on managing mopeds. As a result, with the primary receipt of rights or when replacing them, the driver is given a certificate with a mark that prohibits the management of the "M" category.

It turns out, right? After all, the traffic police officers, not seeing permission in the certificate, believe that there are no direct permission to manage the moped, it means that the medical institution has banned mopeds. But this, of course, is not so.

So if in your driver's license opposite the category "B" there is a mark "ML", but you really do not have medical contraindications for managing mopeds and scooters, you need to apply for a statement to the head of any traffic police department where driver's licenses are issued, with A request to eliminate the violation of your rights.

True, most often people get refusal to such statements. However, an attempt is not torture. But the best option is to contact the medical center in which you received a driver's vote, with a request to change it by putting a mark that you are allowed to manage the "M" category vehicles. After that, contact the traffic police in order to remove the ban on the tolerance of mopeds. In this case, according to the legislation, you cannot refuse. If you refuse, contact the court that you will win 100%.
