DDifficulty 2/5

What licence category is required, as a minimum, to drive a 40-seat bus towing a light trailer with a maximum authorised mass of up to 750 kg?

Correct answer

Category D licence.

D. It authorises buses designed for more than eight passengers plus the driver and a trailer with a maximum authorised mass of up to 750 kg. D1 is limited to 16 passengers plus the driver and eight metres in length; adding E does not remove those limits on the towing vehicle. A D+E holder may also drive this combination, but D+E is not the minimum required. Other driver and service requirements must also be met.
