Question 1288

May an agricultural tractor with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of more than 3,500 kilograms be driven with a category B driver's license?

  1. Yes, when the maximum authorized speed does not exceed 40 km/h.
  2. Yes.
  3. No, because it exceeds a maximum authorized mass of 3,500 kilograms.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes.

A category B license allows you to drive special agricultural vehicles even if they exceed the mass limits for ordinary vehicles. Therefore, exceeding a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of 3,500 kg does not prevent you from driving this tractor with that license.
