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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Merger Proposal

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Vehicle Categorisation in UK

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)[reply]
