Moottoripyöräajokortti

Moottoripyöräajokortti is the Finnish term for a motorcycle driver's license. To obtain a moottoripyöräajokortti, an individual must meet specific age and training requirements. In Finland, there are different categories of motorcycle licenses depending on the power and displacement of the motorcycle.

The process typically involves theoretical instruction and practical training. Theoretical studies cover traffic rules, safety, and motorcycle-specific knowledge. Practical training focuses on developing riding skills, hazard perception, and safe maneuvering. Both parts must be completed successfully to be eligible for the driving test.

The driving test, known as the "ajokoe," is divided into two parts: a closed-course test and a road test. The closed-course test assesses basic riding skills such as starting, stopping, slow-speed control, and obstacle avoidance. The road test evaluates the driver's ability to navigate traffic safely and apply learned skills in real-world conditions.

There are several categories for motorcycle licenses in Finland. AM category is for mopeds, A1 for light motorcycles (up to 125cc and 11kW), A2 for restricted motorcycles (up to 35kW), and A for unrestricted motorcycles. The age requirement varies by category, with older age generally required for more powerful motorcycles. Obtaining a moottoripyöräajokortti signifies that the holder has demonstrated the necessary knowledge and skills to operate a motorcycle safely on public roads.
