This problem provoked a strong reaction from the Panhellenic Association of Driving Instructors.

From now on, the holder of a category B driving license can also drive a motorcycle up to 125 cc without exams or training.

This means that all car drivers can now legally drive motorcycles up to 125cc across the country without the requirement of having a “driver’s license.”

All of these are mentioned in Joint Ministerial Decision A3 / Oik. 56475/6635 adapts Greek legislation to the provisions of Commission Directive 2020/612 / EU, of May 4, 2020, which modifies Directive 2006/126 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on driving licenses and modifies Annex I of pd 51/2012 (101 AD).

Driver and motorcycle license

This issue brought a strong reaction from the Panhellenic Association of Driving Instructors stating that with the specific decision that repeals the training of a candidate for a motorcycle driver, traffic accidents will take off in our country. “There is no place for such shame-legislation in a country where 6,638 people were registered in motorcycle accidents in 2018 alone,” says to APE-MPE, the president of the Panhellenic Association of Driving Instructors, Aris Zografos and continues: motorcycle behaves differently from other vehicles because it has a different construction philosophy. It is a single line vehicle, the driver is on top and not inside the vehicle, making it much more difficult to operate than driving a car. “The motorcycle turns, brakes, accelerates and behaves differently from a car, it requires a good balance and total coordination of the rider on the part of the rider.”

Mr. Zografos stated: “Taking into account all the above, the obvious is clear: not only is it necessary for a motorcyclist to be trained, but this training must be specialized in the higher requirements of the vehicle and the road reality.”
