About B licence: three limits at once: which statement is correct?
- ✓ The minimum age for category B is 18. 2toDrive is supervised driving from age 17, not independent authorisation.
- The mass, passenger and trailer limits of a B licence belong to the rules on licences with a restrictive code (e.g. for medical aids).
- With a B licence you may drive a vehicle for any number of passengers, as long as the mass stays under 3,500 kg.
- With a B licence you may tow any trailer, as long as the trailer itself is not overloaded.
Correct answer: The minimum age for category B is 18. 2toDrive is supervised driving from age 17, not independent authorisation.

Why learners get this wrong
- The 3,500/8/750 figures belong to the definition of category B itself. The rules on licences with a restrictive coding (e.g. medical aids) are a different matter
- Category B applies to vehicles for at most 8 passengers, excluding the driver, in addition to the mass limit
- Up to 750 kg is always allowed; heavier is only allowed if the COMBINATION's mass stays at or under 3,500 kg
