Driving licence in Austria

B licence holders are allowed to ride motorcycles not exceeding 125cc, when they hold their licence for at least five years without interruption and complete a basic training of 6 hours, but with no driving test.

Afterwards the driving licence will be re-issued, because the national code 111 is added.

The Ministry of Transport requested from other EU member states whether Austrians are also allowed to drive within their territories and Portugal, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic and Latvia agreed, that according to their national laws this is allowed, provided that all national provisions are fulfilled.

The Austrian firemen driving licence is intended for use by fire departments.

It allows firemen to drive fire-fighting vehicles up to 5,500 kilograms (12,100 lb) gross vehicle weight with the driving licence class B.
