Is that one of those speed limited vehicles that can be driven without a license?

Those are very common in Galicia

I once saw one in a Nacional route just riding the shoulder.

No points to loose of the license, no fucks given.

Are those white handprints symbolic of the pedestrians it has vanquished?

Yes, it’s what the French (who buy them in some number) call a voiture sans permis. In France, Germany and some other places if the vehicle is limited to 45 kmh, 6 kW and an empty weight of 425 kg it can be driven without a licence. Their main market, at least in France, is those deprived of their licence for drink driving.

Interestingly Aixam are owned by Polaris.

The ones exported to the UK are ungoverned and can hit a blistering 70mph.

In Germany they are treated like scooters, so you still need a scooter licenseto operate them.

It’s the same in the Netherlands. So those who have lost their license due to driving drunk can’t drive these either.

They’re mostly driven by either those who don’t have a car drivers license (yet) or the elderly.

I’ve seen a vsp at close quarters. The thought of 45 kmh in one is alarming enough....
