Question 791

Does a category B license authorize you to drive a passenger car with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of 3,000 kg towing a trailer with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of 800 kg?

  1. Yes, if the license has been held for more than 2 years.
  2. No, a B96 license is required to drive this vehicle combination.
  3. Yes, but only when the trailer's maximum mass exceeds the truck's unladen mass.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, a B96 license is required to drive this vehicle combination.

The maximum authorized masses of the passenger car and trailer total 3,800 kg, and the trailer exceeds 750 kg. Since the combination exceeds 3,500 kg but does not exceed 4,250 kg, a B license with code 96 is required.
