Question 6389
To drive a passenger car with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of 3,000 kg towing a trailer with an MMA of 800 kg, what license is required?
- The B-96 authorization.
- Only a class B license.
- Only a class E license.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The B-96 authorization.
You need a category B license with B96 authorization. The trailer exceeds 750 kg, so it is not a light trailer, and the combination's MMA matters. Here, it totals 3,800 kg. With B alone, a combination like this can have an MMA of up to 3,500 kg. Above 3,500 kg and up to 4,250 kg, you need B96, which you obtain by passing a practical test and which appears on your license as code 96. There is no standalone category E license.
