Can a Class D Driver's License Operate Four-Wheeled Mobility Scooters?

[DeEsther]

A Class D driver's license does not permit the operation of four-wheeled mobility scooters. The following vehicles can be operated with a Class D license: 1. Three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50km/h. 2. Two-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50km/h. 3. Motorcycles with an engine displacement of 50ml or less and a maximum design speed of 50km/h or less. Additional Information: Four-wheeled mobility scooters are typically designed with narrow bodies, lightweight chassis, and tall structures, resulting in a high center of gravity and poor stability. Their braking systems often feature drum brake designs that require significant pedal force to achieve full stopping power. Externally, these vehicles lack front and rear crash absorption structures; internally, they don't even include basic safety belts, let alone airbags or other safety features. Furthermore, such vehicles undergo no crash testing before leaving the factory, making their safety performance unverifiable.
