The Rulebook on motor vehicle drivers training allows people with disabilities to undergo driving training either in their own vehicles or rented ones. Special aids, such as automatic gear shifts or vehicles adapted to their physical disabilities as specified in medical certificates, must be used during training.

Vehicle Marking for Training: Vehicles used for training individuals with disabilities must display a white plate measuring 400 x 150 mm, indicating “TRAINING” in blue letters. This marking distinguishes them as vehicles used for training purposes.

The Rulebook on motor vehicle driver tests allows individuals with disabilities to take driving tests in vehicles specially adapted to their specific physical disabilities. During the test, special aids such as glasses or prosthetics must be used, and the vehicle must be equipped with automatic gear shift. Testing can occur in the candidate’s personal vehicle or a rented one.

Individuals with disabilities or physical defects that do not prevent them from driving a motor vehicle, but make it more challenging, may still be granted a driving license.

Assignment of Codes: Specific codes (“01” for glasses, “02” for hearing aids, “03” for orthopedic aids) are assigned and entered into the driving license accordingly.

Requirement for Replacement License: If a license holder becomes required to use glasses, orthopedic aids, or a hearing aid after their license is issued, they must apply for a replacement license within 15 days.

Definition of Terms: “Glasses” refer to the use of corrective lenses while driving, “orthopedic aids” pertain to the use of prosthetics and vehicle adaptations for individuals with disabilities, and “hearing aids” indicate the use of hearing assistance devices.

Indication of Automatic Transmission: Individuals who trained and took their driver test in a vehicle with automatic transmission will have “automatic transmission” and code “10.02” noted in the Remarks column of their driving licenses.
