BDifficulty 2/5

With a B licence, you want to drive a car of 3,000 kg maximum authorised mass towing a trailer of 800 kg maximum authorised mass. Which B extension authorises that combination?

Correct answer

The B licence with code 96.

B with code 96, for combinations exceeding 3,500 kg without exceeding 4,250 kg whose trailer exceeds 750 kg maximum authorised mass. Add the authorised maxima: 3,000 + 800 = 3,800 kg, not the actual weights on the day. Unextended B is insufficient; BE may also authorise this combination subject to its conditions. There is no standalone E licence. In addition to driver entitlement, comply with towing masses and other technical limits of the vehicle and combination.
