Israeli Minister of Transportation Miri Regev has signed an amendment to driving regulations that expands the types of vehicles permitted for certain license holders. The changes grant additional authorities to drivers with specific licenses concerning commercial, electric, and armored vehicles.

Under the new rules, holders of a Class B driver's license who have possessed it for over two years will be allowed to operate electric commercial vehicles weighing up to 4.25 tons. They will also be permitted to drive armored vehicles weighing up to 4 tons.

Furthermore, the amendment permits Class C1 license holders to drive private vehicles weighing between 3.5 and 12 tons, broadening the range of vehicles they can operate. This modification is part of a broader effort to alter restrictions on driver's license categories and expand driver capabilities based on vehicle types and weights.
