BDifficulty 2/5

A car authorised by a category B licence tows a trailer with MAM no greater than 750 kg and meets its technical towing limits. Is category B sufficient even if the combination’s MAM exceeds 3,500 kg?

Correct answer

Yes, under the stated conditions.

Yes. A vehicle authorised by B may tow that light trailer; with a towing vehicle up to 3,500 kg, the combination may reach 4,250 kg. Towing capability and other technical requirements still apply. A light trailer displays the towing vehicle’s registration, not its own red registration plate. It is incorrect to say no other restrictions apply.
