Basically the same here in Holland: one needs a licence for mopeds, motorcycles, cars, trucks, buses and trailers, but not for tracked vehicles or farm tractors. The latter will be fixed shortly, since the legislator now finally sees that driving today's huge farm tractors with multiple trailers by 16 year olds without a licence is a huge liability.

A friend of mine once drove a Sherman recovery tank on the public road, and he was stopped by the police as "he could not drive it on the road". He showed the policeman all of the above drivers licences and insurance for the tank. He had no registration papers as one cannot get a registration for a tracked vehicle here. The poor policeman did not have an answer to what else was needed to drive it legally, so he had to leave him drive off. Talk about a "grey area" when standing in a huge cloud of tank exhaust smoke!
