Categories of rights. Their use

A driver's license is a document that gives the right to drive a vehicle to its owner. As you know, there are a lot of varieties of cars and equipment. They vary among themselves the number of seats for passengers, the mass and the presence of additional elements that increase the amount of cargo carried. In order to allow the driver to manage only certain types of transport, established categories of rights.

The driver's license provides for a note on the relevant types of vehicles to be managed by the person who presents them. Categories of rights can be either single or joint, i.e. In one document there may be several marks. Restoration of a driver's license after their loss or theft provides for the re-creation of those categories that were available on the previous document and preserved in the database of inspection services.

Category "A"

The management of motorcycles and other two-wheeled mechanical vehicles with an engine capacity exceeding 50 cubic centimeters requires the provision of category "A" rights. This type also includes scooters, motorcycles with stroller and motocross.

Category "B"

Cars with their own weight not exceeding 3,5 thousand kilograms, as well as the number of seats less than 9 fall under the category "B". Among such cars you can see cars (such as sedan), hatchbacks-universals, crossovers and jeeps. Also in this number may include some minibuses that meet the above requirements.

Category "С"

The management of trucks weighing more than 3.5 thousand kilograms, intended for the carriage of goods, obliges the driver to have the rights of category "C". They also include cars with a trailer, the mass of which does not exceed the limit of 750 kilograms. This category does not include transport intended for the transport of people.

Category "D"

To transport a large number of passengers, it is required to pass to the category "D" rights, which is necessary for the management of vehicles, the design of which provides for the presence of more than 9 passenger seats. This category applies to buses of any weight and structure.

Category "E"

Vehicles and vehicles that do not fall into any of the categories require the existence of rights of the "E" category, which is issued only in conjunction with some other one. Thus typologies BE, CE and DE appear. These categories of rights allow you to drive a vehicle of the appropriate type with a trailer, tractor or train.

The loss of driver's license does not deprive categories. The information on their presence is stored in the database of the State Automobile Inspection. Therefore, we can not worry that after an unpleasant incident, we will have to re-take the exams for the right to drive the corresponding vehicle. In addition, there are additional requirements (except for the availability of an appropriate category of rights) for drivers whose work is related to driving a car, as well as for those who intend to engage in international transportation.
