Over the age of 16 and without licensing one may operate a 2- or 3-wheeled vehicle below 5hp and with a top speed below 60 km/h. In the 1950s the licensing of a german Sachs 50cc two-stroke engine brought forth the first great wave of motorisation in the country, and the technical standards and exams are notoriously lax regarding them, so even today getting a 50cc and upgrading it is a cherished hobby for many rural youth of the country.


Dongfeng-1, 1952

A normal car, rare as those are, requires a specific license and a set of lessons and certifications (first aid, traffic sign exams, night driving etc.) and a minimum age of 18.

further classes regulate trucks below and above 10 tons, agricultural vehicles and tracked craft: the army usually administers tank lessons and takes the test.

Boats below a weight of 5 tons require no license if the motive power involved does not exceed 5hp. Above that a series of classes governs everything from canoes to container freighters.

Generally one must maintain ones vehicle according to the rules for the specific class, but even class-1 vehicles have to be taken to the authorities once a year and tested: do the technical installations work and does it conform to the rules for that class? Also general insurance is mandatory, as is a genera license plate that is the same size and shape for every vehicle on public roads and must be displayed at all times in a specific location mandated for every vehicle. Technical installations like indicators, mirrors and even exhaust silencers are mandated by the state and are subject to inspection: driving around without mirrors for instance can cost you your vehicle. Traffic rules are very strict, though not that effectively enforced: patrols and controls are rare, and mostly automated. Speed cameras and tracking systems that recognize the license plates are pretty ubiquituous these days, and are widely used for general policing purposes.

Private vehicles of the higher classes are very rare, and even those mostly are very small and basic when compared to foreign brands, motorbikes are much easier to actually acquire.

What is the full process for getting a drivers license in your country?
- One must complete 40 hours each of in-class and real-world driver's education and must possess a signed and dated document certifying their completion of these courses
- One must bring the aforementioned document, along with an accepted form of photo ID, to a branch of the Ministry of Transportation where one will take their driver's examination
- One must pass the driver's examination with at least a 90/100 score, as it is understood that no one is going to be a 100% perfect driver, so one or two minor mistakes can be overlooked. However, it must be noted that failing certain parts of the test are an automatic failure and require one to retake their driver's education courses before they can take the examination again.

After one passes their driver's examination, congratulations! Then they will receive either a provisional Class G driver's license (for those aged 15-18) or a full Class G license. If one has received a provisional Class G license, then it can be upgraded to a full Class G license after having possessed the provisional license for a minimum of 18 months and have received no points against their license by taking the driver's examination again.

The above process only applies for acquiring a Class G license.

To acquire a Class M, Class T, or Class E license, one must already possess a full Class G license and otherwise undergo the same procedures that were required to acquire the Class G license, although the educational courses for the other classes of license focus entirely upon the class of vehicle that each license allows one to operate.

Also of note is that there are no provisional licenses issued for Class T and Class E, only full licenses.

[Nolo gap]

in nolo gap, as in cameroi, you probably don't live within five miles a road suitable for driving anything like what humans would call a car on,
but within half a mile or less, of some sort of rail/guideway based transit system.

segways, people powered vehicles such as bikes and trikes, and of course powered mobility assisance devices for the mobility challanges, require no licensing.

agricultural, construction and mining mechines also require no licensing to be used as motor vehicles, in rural areas, not within incorporated communities.

there are no age restrictions, however a person may be banned from operating a personal vehicle temporarily or even permenintly for doing so incompitantly or in a manor demonstrating malicious intent.

we have transit systems scaled to demand, including very small form factor ones, almost everywhere, and so few vehicular roadways, that owning a personal motor vehicle is simply neither neccessary nor practical for anyone not living far from even the smallest villages.

For each incorrect question yo get -1 for each coreect +1 and not answering is 0. Then you get medical exam where eyesight and stuff get tested. The last step is the practical exam: you drive an hour with someone who grades you. If you pass you get your license. Every 10 years you need to come again to take a small 20 question test and a new medical exam. When you break rules in traffic there is a chance that we take your license and then you need to do these steps again (happens a lot).
