The specific regulation refers only to the adaptation of the Information System of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, so there is the possibility of filling in the driving license form. Therefore, the right to drive a category A1 motorcycle is not automatically granted by the holder of a category B driving license., for which a law is required which, if issued, will describe the terms and conditions for the equivalence of driving licenses. “
