BDifficulty 2/5

Does licence B authorise a 3,000 kg MAM lorry designed for no more than eight passengers plus the driver, towing a light trailer of up to 750 kg MAM?

Correct answer

Yes, subject also to technical capacities and licence restrictions.

Yes. Licence B covers motor vehicles with MAM no greater than 3,500 kg, designed for no more than eight passengers plus the driver, and trailers with MAM no greater than 750 kg. The 3,500 and 750 limits are inclusive, and there may be up to nine people including the driver. In this scenario the combined MAM does not exceed 3,750 kg. Do not confuse MAM with actual or unladen mass. Also observe technical towing capacities and licence restrictions.
