            (1)  Any employee of the Federal Government while
        operating a motor vehicle owned by or leased to the Federal
        Government and being operated on official business unless the
        employee is required by the Federal Government or any agency
        thereof to have a state driver's license. This exemption
        shall not apply to the operation of commercial motor
        vehicles, as defined in Chapter 16 (relating to commercial
        drivers).
            (2)  Any person in the service of the armed forces of the

            (3)  Any nonresident who is at least 16 years of age and
        who has in possession a valid driver's license issued in the
        person's home state or country except that a person who has
        been issued a valid driver's license in a country other than
        the United States or Canada shall be exempt only upon showing
        a satisfactory understanding of official traffic-control
        devices. A nonresident may only drive the class or classes of
        vehicles in this Commonwealth for which the person is
        licensed to drive in the person's home state or country
        subject to all restrictions contained on the license.
            (4)  Any person on active duty in the armed forces of the
        United States who has in their immediate possession a valid
        driver's license issued in a foreign country by the armed
        forces of the United States may operate a motor vehicle in
        this Commonwealth for a period of not more than 45 days from
        the date of the person's return to the United States.
            (5)  Any person 14 years of age or older operating an
        implement of husbandry. Persons 14 or 15 years of age are
        restricted to the operation of implements of husbandry on one
