Azerbaijan will issue special driving licenses for vehicles with automatic transmission.
It was reflected in the amendment to the Law “On Road Traffic” of Azerbaijan Republic approved by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s decree dated November 18, 2016.
According to the amendment, a person wanting to obtain a driving license authorizing the holder to drive “B” category vehicles, can pass a driving test in manual or automatic transmission vehicles. Whilst a manual transmission vehicle licence permits the holder to drive a vehicle of either kind, an automatic transmission vehicle licence is solely for vehicles with automatic transmission.
“B” category vehicles include vehicles not belonging to “A” category, with the maximum authorized mass not exceeding 3.500 kg and not more than 8 + 1 seats.
