Driving a 125 ccm motorcycle in Spain with EU licence
In Spain they allow drivers holding a Spanish B licence (for cars) to drive 125 ccm motorcycles without further training or applying for a licence.
So, once you have the B, even if it does not estipulate in it that you can drive small motorcycles, you are allowed to.
Does this rule also apply to me, driving with a Belgian EU permit B? Is there any official source confirming or denying this?
Best Answer
Yes, it is allowed to move vehicles of the category A1(!) in Spain if your license which allows you to drive B is at least 3 years old.
Quotation from Wikipedia:
B licence holders in Czech Republic (only motorcycles with automatic transmission), Italy, Latvia, Malta (after a training of 10 hours), Slovakia (after two years and only motorcycles with automatic transmission), Spain (after three years), Poland (after three years), Portugal (at least 25 years old or additional licence for mopeds), and Belgium (only with a Belgian Driving Licence, after two years) are allowed to drive motorcycles not exceeding 125 cubic centimetres (7.6 cu in) within the respective countries. In Austria (after five years, training of 6 hours), France (after two years, a training of 7 hours), Luxembourg (after two years, training of 7 hours), and the United Kingdom (Compulsory Basic Training), a practical training without exam is needed for B licence holders.
