moottoripyöräajokorttia

Moottoripyöräajokortti is the Finnish term for a motorcycle driving license. Obtaining this license in Finland requires a specific training process and passing theoretical and practical driving tests.

There are different categories of motorcycle licenses, depending on the engine size and power of the motorcycle. The most common categories are A1 for light motorcycles (up to 125cc and 11 kW), A2 for medium-sized motorcycles (up to 35 kW), and A for unrestricted motorcycles. The age requirement for each category also varies, with A1 being obtainable from age 16, A2 from age 18, and A from age 24 (or earlier with a continuous driving history in lower categories).

The process typically involves attending a driving school which provides both theoretical instruction and practical riding lessons. The theoretical test covers traffic rules, hazard perception, and motorcycle-specific knowledge. The practical test assesses the rider's ability to control the motorcycle in various situations, including starting, stopping, maneuvering in traffic, and specific skill exercises like slow riding and emergency braking.

After successfully passing both tests, the applicant is granted their moottoripyöräajokortti. It is mandatory to possess a valid license before operating a motorcycle on public roads in Finland. The license is subject to renewal, and drivers must adhere to all traffic laws and regulations.
