Ceisteanna (1013)

Olivia Mitchell

Ceist:

1081 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Transport his plans to ensure that a clearer differentiation between the A and A1 classification for motorcycle driving licences is put in place in view of the fact that the labelling system in use is causing confusion among applicants and existing motorcyclists who want to upgrade from an A1 licence to an A licence; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Road Traffic (Licensing of Drivers) Regulations, 1999 provide that driving licence category A licenses a person to drive all motorcycles while category A1 limits a person to motorcycles with an engine capacity not exceeding 125 cubic centimetres and with a power rating not exceeding 11 kilowatts. I am not aware of any confusion arising from the categorization of motorcycles for drivinglicences.
