Question 5417

Does a class B driver’s license authorize you to drive a van with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of 3,500 kilograms?

  1. No, a class C license is required.
  2. Yes, but only when the license has been held for more than 2 years.
  3. Yes.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes.

Yes. A category B license covers motor vehicles (automóviles) whose MMA does not exceed 3,500 kg, so a van at exactly 3,500 kg is within the limit. It does not matter how long you have held your license. Above 3,500 kg, you generally need a C1 or C license.
