BDifficulty 2/5

A non-agricultural special vehicle, not carrying passengers, has a maximum authorised mass no greater than 3,500 kg and an authorised maximum speed no greater than 40 km/h. Which licence does article 5.8 require?

Correct answer

Category B licence

Category B. Both limits must be met together in this scenario. If either is exceeded, the licence corresponding to maximum authorised mass is required; speed alone does not determine the answer. Special vehicles carrying people have a separate rule based on the number carried: B up to nine including the driver, D1 above nine and up to seventeen, and D above seventeen.
