Question 7555
With a category B driver's license, is it allowed to drive a motor vehicle with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of 3,000 kg towing a trailer with an MMA of 800 kg?
- Yes, if the driver's license has been held for more than 3 years.
- Yes, but with an authorization, after passing a test.
- Yes, because it exceeds the maximum authorized mass of the combination.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, but with an authorization, after passing a test.
Yes, with B96 authorization. Since the trailer exceeds 750 kg, the combination's MMA matters, and 3,000 plus 800 equals 3,800 kg. B alone only allows up to 3,500 kg with a trailer like this. Above 3,500 kg and up to 4,250 kg, you need B96, which you obtain by passing a practical test. How long you have held your license does not change anything.
