What are the driver's license categories in Ukraine
For twenty-five years of Ukraine's independencedriver's license has undergone considerable changes, both in appearance and in the number of categories. Many people, who first took the "rights" of a new model, are at first lost in the variety that has appeared. In fact, everything is simple, you just have to figure it out.
Heritage and modernity
Traffic rules Ukraine inherited, after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The USSR became a member of the Geneva International Convention almost immediately after signing, in 1973.
Driving license categories wereUntil 1991 they were unchanged. It was in their usual form that they were inherited by Ukraine as an independent state. Two years after the collapse actively used Soviet certificates, and in 1993, the first happy motorists began to receive a crust on a plastic basis.
There were only five categories. A, B, C, D and E. They could be obtained at the State Automobile Inspection after passing the exam. The certificate for driving trams, tractors, trolleybuses and other equipment was issued by specialized training centers.
In 2008, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a decisionharmonize national traffic rules with European ones, which resulted in several new categories, each of which will be discussed below.
A1
Driving license categories in Ukraine type "A1"issued to those wishing to drive two-wheeled vehicles, engine capacity up to fifty cubic centimeters or up to four kilowatts.
The introduction of this innovation allowed us to breatherelief to many road users. The fact is that earlier scooters, mopeds and other similar equipment could be operated by everyone, not having a sufficient age or knowledge of traffic rules. This was actively used by teenagers. The number of emergency situations on the road was growing dangerously. After the introduction of the category, in just a few months the situation improved significantly
A
Driving license categories in Ukraine type "A"are issued to those wishing to drive two-wheeled vehicles (or motorcycles with a stroller), engine capacity of more than fifty cubic centimeters or more than four kilowatts.
Under it come motorcycles, powerful scooters and mopeds.
Holders of certificates received before 2008year, can update the crust into a modern one with the automatic opening of both category "A" and category "A1" without the need for additional practical examinations.
IN 1
Driving license category in Ukraine type "B1"is issued to those wishing to drive ATVs, tricycles, motor-carriages and other similar vehicles. The only difference from the usual "B" is that the weight of this machine should not exceed 400 kg.
On the streets of big cities, owners of such equipment can be met very rarely. These units are more popular in forests, fields, off-road.
AT
The most famous and popular categorydriver's license in Ukraine type "B" gives the right to drive vehicles weighing up to three and a half tons and the number of passengers, in addition to the driver, in the number of eight people.
An overwhelming number of cars fall under the category.
Holders of certificates received before 2008year, can update the crust into a modern one, with the automatic opening of both category "B" and category "B1" without the need for additional practical examinations.
C1
Next, cargo categories of rights in Ukraine will be described. The decoding has two meanings: "C1" and "C".
The first category allows you to drive vehicles from 3500 kg to 7500 kg.
FROM
The category of rights in Ukraine group "C" allows you to manage any vehicles over 7500 kg.
Here is the main paradox for many.
Why not manage small trucks, having only the category "C", and it is necessary to get "C1", because the control is the same, remains a mystery.
Holders of certificates received before 2008year, can update the crust into a modern one, with automatic opening of both category "C" and category "C1" without the need for additional practical examinations.
D1
Owners of this category can managebuses, with the number of seats for passengers not exceeding sixteen. A fairly rare category in Ukraine. Manufacturers of minibuses set in their offspring often eight seats for passengers. In the most popular "Sprinters" eighteen seats.
D
Owners of this category can operate bus vehicles, with a number of seats for passengers more than sixteen units.
BE, С1Е, СЕ, D1Е, DE
Drivers are required to open additional categories to those already in existence if they plan to transport goods weighing more than 750 kg using a trailer.
Age qualification
Driver's license with open categories "A" and "A1" can be obtained on the day of sixteenth birthday. "В", "В1" "С" and "С1" - from the age of eighteen. "D" and "D1" - from twenty-one years.
Validity
The validity of the driver's license for the last sevenyears has changed several times. At the time of the emergence of new categories, all of them were opened indefinitely. Later, the rights were issued for fifty years, then for thirty.
At the moment, the new "crusts" are issued on a slightly different pattern. "A" and "A1" - twenty years, all other categories - ten.
