Explain M2 & M3 category of vehicles.
- "...used for the carriage of passengers", "more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat". Sounds like a bus to me. M2 is a small bus, like a minibus; M3 is a larger bus like that found driving round the streets of your town. Astronaut (talk) 00:48, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
I have included in the page a comparison table to European Driving Licence categories as interpreted from European driving licence It is not clear what the passenger carrying vehicles over 8 passenger seats are included, I was going to include D and D1 in with N2 and N3 but there are no specifications on mass for PCVs but I do know from experience that most PCVs with over 8 passenger seats are over 3.5 tonnes — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fmountford (talk • contribs) 22:58, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Merger Proposal[edit]
Both pages have almost identical information, the Directive 2001/116/EC page is better formatted and has a little more information but the Vehicle category page has a comparison table with the European Driving Licence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fmountford (talk • contribs) 23:30, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
- Vehicle categorization is a theme which is not identic with Directive 2001/116/EC. This EU directive is one of many regulations which constitute some vehicle categorization (and this directive is not only about a list of categories). There exist also older and parallel categorization systems, national extended and modified implementations of the EU general categorization, extra-EU categorization systems etc. --ŠJů (talk) 22:28, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
The article states that for O2 trailors, you need the following driving licences: BE, C1E, CE, D1E, DE
As far as I've been told you can drive O2 with a B1 as long as the train (vehicle + trailor) does not surpass 3500kg. Else you need a BE licence. Andre.pletschette (talk) 13:04, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
Vehicle Categorisation in UK[edit]
Just to say, it is not clear whether the article applies to the UK for categorisation (I think it does as UK Government codes match) 185.253.178.113 (talk) 17:02, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
