A sports club in Nijmegen hires a minibus with twelve passenger seats in addition to the driver's seat. The permitted maximum mass is 3,500 kg. The trainer holds a B licence and no other licence. He may not drive this minibus.

Explanation

False — you only look at the mass. A B licence covers vehicles of no more than 3,500 kg and for at most 8 persons besides the driver. This minibus has twelve passenger seats, so a B licence is not enough. (Reglement rijbewijzen art. 5, 15, 21 | VekaBest p.21-22 (Hoofdstuk 2 §2.1))
