What is the maximum seating capacity for vehicles driven under a class 4 license?

The maximum seating capacity for vehicles driven under a Class 4 license in Alberta is 10 passengers, including the driver. This category of license is designed for those who want to operate special vehicles such as taxis, limousines, or other similar vehicles that accommodate a small number of passengers. It ensures that drivers have the proper training to manage the responsibilities associated with carrying multiple passengers, such as ensuring their safety and comfort.

In contrast, a Class 5 license allows for larger vehicles with a greater passenger capacity, while other higher classifications, such as Class 2 or Class 1, are meant for even larger vehicles like buses or trucks. Understanding these classifications and their related seating capacities is crucial for drivers to comply with licensing regulations and to ensure the safety of all passengers.
