Microcar The obstacle to adaptation of such vehicles in the United States is less technical than cultural and political. The mandates by regulatory powers that such vehicles meet full U.S. safety regulations ensures the unavailability of vehicles suitable for use in the mixed traffic conditions that predominate in U.S. suburban areas.
Microcar The definition of a microcar has varied considerably in different countries. Since there are usually tax and/or licensing advantages to the classification, multiple restrictions are often imposed, starting with engine size. The Register of Unusual Microcars in the UK says: ""economy vehicles with either three or four wheels, powered by petrol engines of no more than 700cc or battery electric propulsion, and manufactured since 1945"". The Bruce Weiner Microcar Museum (the world's largest collection of Microcars) says ""Engine sizes of 700cc and less and 2 doors or less"" and the US-based Vintage Microcar Club simply defines it as 1000 cc or less.

Microcar In some countries, drivers of microcars (defined for example as having a certain maximum weight) are exempt from licensing conditions. The microcars may have a special category or may be considered motorcycles and therefore no car driving licence is needed (Austria, Belgium and France (where they are known as VSPs, or "Voiture Sans Permis"), Germany, Spain, Italy). This assures a certain market among older people who do not want to stand for, or who cannot pass an auto driver's licence test, or younger people who are not yet old enough to qualify. More negatively, at least in Austria, Belgium and France, such cars are sometimes derided as a solution for people who have had their licence revoked because of drunk driving. Also, motorized quadricycles may be forbidden from motorways (which is the case in Finland).
Microcar In the UK before October 2000, a person who passed a motorcycle test was automatically granted a full sub-category B1 licence (lightweight car with an unladen weight of 550 kg or less, motor quadricycle, motor tricycle) as an additional entitlement with the full Category A (motorcycle) licence. Since 2000 a provisional car licence has to be requested.
