Recognition and Category Equivalence
The equivalence rights of categories and subcategories extend to the holder of a licence issued by a foreign state only where the legislation of the issuing country provides for it. Under the Georgian law, the holder of an „A“, „B“, „C“ or „D“ category may also drive vehicles of the „A1“, „A2“, „B1“, „C1“ or „D1“ subcategories established within those categories, and the trailer combinations follow a parallel ladder.
Beyond this basic equivalence, other equivalences may be established by an order of the Minister of Internal Affairs. Two practical examples: the „B“ category covers a tracked agricultural tractor within defined mass limits, and a „C“ category licence allows, under conditions, the carriage of passengers in the body of a truck — with the number of passengers not exceeding 8; part of these equivalences operate only on the territory of Georgia.
