111. マイクロカー
マイクロカーは、主に短距離・都市内移動向けに設計された非常に小型の自動車です。通常、密閉された客室、4輪、1～2人分の座席を備えますが、設計や法的分類は異なります。
多くは通常の乗用車ではなく軽四輪車として法的に分類されます。より高出力・高速なモデルは重い四輪車または乗用車区分に入る場合があります。免許、最低年齢、登録、保険、最高速度、道路利用は正式な法的分類によって決まります。
What is a microcar in Belgium?
Microcar is not a separate Belgian legal vehicle category. Most low-speed microcars are legally classified as light quadricycles, while more powerful models can be classified as motor quadricycles.
What is a Belgian light microcar?
A typical light microcar is a four-wheeled light quadricycle with a maximum design speed of no more than 45 km/h.
How heavy may a Belgian light quadricycle be?
The maximum mass in running order is generally 425 kg. For electric vehicles, the traction-battery mass is excluded from this figure.
How many people may travel in a Belgian light microcar?
A three- or four-wheeled moped may have no more than two seats in total, including the driver's seat.
Which driving licence is required for a light microcar in Belgium?
A light quadricycle capable of travelling above 25 km/h and up to 45 km/h normally requires a category AM driving licence. A licence valid for A1, A2, A or B also includes category AM.
How old must you be to drive a light microcar in Belgium?
You must normally be at least 16 years old to obtain and use category AM.
How old must a microcar driver be to carry a passenger?
A category-AM driver must normally be at least 18 years old before carrying a passenger.
What licence is required for a more powerful Belgian microcar?
If the vehicle is legally classified as a motor quadricycle rather than a light quadricycle, category B is normally required. The normal minimum age for a full category B licence is 18.
Must a Belgian light microcar be registered?
Yes. Light quadricycles must be registered with the DIV and display the appropriate registration plate.
Which registration plate does a Belgian light microcar use?
A Belgian light quadricycle receives a registration plate beginning with S-U.
Does a Belgian microcar need insurance?
Yes. Motor vehicles participating in Belgian road traffic must normally have at least the compulsory civil-liability motor insurance.
Must you wear a helmet inside an enclosed Belgian microcar?
No general helmet requirement applies when the light quadricycle has a passenger compartment. The Belgian helmet requirement for mopeds and motor quadricycles specifically applies to vehicles without a passenger compartment.
Must you wear a seat belt in a Belgian microcar?
Yes, where seat belts are fitted. Drivers and passengers of motor vehicles other than cars must wear the seat belts provided at their seating positions.
Can a light microcar use a Belgian cycle path?
No. The Belgian cycle-path provisions allowing or requiring moped use concern two-wheeled mopeds. A four-wheeled light microcar therefore travels on the carriageway rather than on a cycle path.
Can a light microcar use a Belgian motorway?
No. A light quadricycle belongs to the moped category, and mopeds are prohibited from Belgian motorways. Its maximum design speed of 45 km/h is also below the motorway requirement.
Can a light microcar use a Belgian autoweg?
No. Belgian rules expressly prohibit mopeds from roads designated as autowegen.
