There are no such restrictions. People with disabilities may, depending on the nature of their disability, receive a 'code 100' on their licence, which means that they are licensed to drive only in vehicles adapted to suit their disabilities. An obvious example would be a case where a person is licensed to drive a car only if the car has hands-only controls. However, 'code 100' restrictions do not relate to engine size.
