Notes

  • The compulsory motor insurance act was not read.
  • The police notice (14 April 2017) says mopeds are placed in category L and are subject to registration. The form of the plate was not stated.
  • The Act as published (NN 67/2008, Art. 2(1) point 38) gives a moped design speed of up to 50 km/h, while a police notice of 14 April 2017 quotes 45 km/h. The consolidated current text could not be read, so no value is given.
