Correct answer
Yes, provided I have an additional authorisation.
The combination has a MAM of 3,800 kg (3,000 + 800). A category B licence can cover a trailer with a MAM over 750 kg if the combination’s MAM does not exceed 4,250 kg. If the combination exceeds 3,500 kg, the driver needs the supplementary code 96 entitlement, obtained by passing the required test or completing the prescribed training. Category B+E also covers this combination because the trailer’s MAM does not exceed 3,500 kg. So a category B licence without the relevant additional entitlement is not enough. The vehicle’s technical limits must also be respected.

Yes, because it does not exceed the maximum mass permitted for driving a combination of vehicles.
Yes, provided I have an additional authorisation.
The combination’s MAM is 3,800 kg. Because it exceeds 3,500 kg and the trailer exceeds 750 kg, you need code 96 entitlement or a category B+E licence, subject to the vehicle’s technical limits.
