What vehicles can you drive without a license?

Answer 1

In the US and most other countries, you need a valid driver's license to operate a motor vehicle on a public road. This includes cars, light trucks and off-road vehicles (permitted on public roads in some states).

You need a license with additional qualifications (or "endorsements") to drive many specialized vehicles, including ambulances, buses, trucks above a certain gross vehicle weight, heavy equipment (such as bulldozers) and motorcycles.

In some states, you can drive a moped (low-powered motor scooter) with a conventional driver's license. In others, you must have a motorcycle license.

Properties owned by federal, state or city governments, including parks, may have their own requirements.

You don't need a license to ride a bicycle on a public road.

On private property, you can drive whatever you like (with the permission of the property owner).

Answer 2

In many jurisdictions you can drive LSMs, or low speed motorcycles, commonly called MoPeds or motorized bikes, without a drivers licence or any special insurance. These bikes are limited in engine power which is often an electric motor and are a great means of transportation within city limits.
