proposal type: Competent authority response
response: "Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure\nManufacturers of single-track\
  \ vehicles often adapt the technical characteristics of mopeds, motorcycles and\
  \ motorbikes to the categories of driving licence. They may therefore offer models\
  \ of single-track vehicles for which the driver needs an AM or A1 category licence\
  \ or no licence at all (mopeds up to 25 km/h).\nThe categories of driving licence\
  \ and the conditions for obtaining each category are laid down in the Drivers Act\
  \ (Official Journal of the Republic of Slovenia, No 85/16; hereinafter: ZVoz). Motorcycles\
  \ fall into the following categories:\n category AM, which includes mopeds, except\
  \ mopeds whose design speed does not exceed 25 km/h, category A1, which includes\
  \ motorcycles on two wheels with or without a sidecar, the engine capacity of which\
  \ does not exceed 125 cc and the engine power of which does not exceed 11 kW, with\
  \ an engine power/vehicle mass ratio not exceeding 0,1 kW/kg. The licence to drive\
  \ vehicles in this category shall also include a licence to drive vehicles in categories\
  \ AM and G, category A2, which shall include motorcycles with an engine power not\
  \ exceeding 35 kW and with an engine power/weight ratio not exceeding 0,2 kW/kg\
  \ and not derived from a vehicle with a power of one times greater. The licence\
  \ to drive vehicles in this category shall also include the licence to drive vehicles\
  \ in categories AM, A1 and G, category A, which shall include motorcycles on two\
  \ wheels with or without a sidecar, and tricycles. A licence to drive vehicles in\
  \ this category shall also include a licence to drive vehicles in categories AM,\
  \ A1, A2 and G,\nA moped, the design speed of which does not exceed 25 km/h, may\
  \ be ridden in road traffic by a child between 12 and 14 years of age who is in\
  \ possession of a cycling licence and by a person over 14 years of age.\nThe definition\
  \ of the categories shall reflect the technical characteristics of the vehicles\
  \ concerned and the skills required to drive them. The minimum age at which a driver\
  \ can obtain a category of licence is set.\nThis is in line with Directive 2006/126/EC\
  \ of 20 December 2006 on driving licences (as amended) and is in force in all EU\
  \ Member States.\nIn the case of conversion of a moped into a motorcycle as described\
  \ in the published proposal, the certificate of conformity would need to be amended\
  \ accordingly and the driver would need an A1 category driving licence to drive\
  \ such a vehicle.\nThe regulations allow for this and do not, in our view, need\
  \ to be amended for this reason.\n "
