| 1.Model S1. The difference between the model which was issued before 1 January1993 and the one which was |
| issued after that date only concerns the layout of the licence (the stamp of the issuing authority and the col- |
| our of the licence changed). |
| 2.Model S1. Licence holders who obtained a category B licence before 1 July 1996 are entitled to drive private |
| cars with a maximum authorised mass exceeding 3.5 tons, as long as the vehicle is registered as a private car |
| and not as a light lorry. This right remains until the driving licence expires. Upon issue of a new driving licence |
| after withdrawal, the holder is only entitled to drive B vehicles according to Directive 91/439/EEC. Ordinary |
| exchange every 10 years does not affect the validity of the licence, which means that the above entitle- |
| ment can be maintained after such an exchange. |
| 3.Model S1. Licence holders who obtained their category A entitlement with the restriction to light motorcy- |
| cles before 1 July 1996 are entitled to drive motor vehicles with a cubic capacity not exceeding 125 cm³, |
| without a power (kW) limitation. This right remains until the driving licence expires. Upon issue of a new driv- |
| ing licence after withdrawal, the holder is only entitled to drive A1 vehicles according to Directive 91/439/ |
| EEC. Ordinary exchange every 10 years does not affect the validity of the licence. |
| 4.Model S1. This restriction obliges the holder to hold an additional document on which driving conditions, |
| e.g. caused by disabilities, are recorded. |
| 5.Model S2. There are four different variations of this model, but no substantial change has been made since |
| introduction of the first variation on 1 July 1996. The changes rather concern the layout and the physical |
| characteristics. |
| 6.Model S2. The national category ‘Taxi’ was abolished as of 1 October 1998. |
