BDifficulty 2/5

Does a category B driving licence authorise you to drive a van with a maximum authorised mass (MAM) of 3,500 kilograms?

Correct answer

Yes.

A category B driving licence authorises you to drive vans with a maximum authorised mass (MAM) of up to 3,500 kilograms without requiring a category C licence or 2 years’ driving experience. This type of licence allows you to drive vehicles designed and built to carry no more than eight passengers in addition to the driver, provided that the vehicle’s MAM does not exceed 3,500 kilograms. In addition, with a category B licence, you may tow a trailer whose maximum mass does not exceed 750 kilograms, or even a trailer exceeding this weight provided that the combined MAM of the towing vehicle and the trailer does not exceed 3,500 kilograms.
