About B licence: three limits at once: which statement is correct?
- 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 tow any trailer, as long as the trailer itself is not overloaded.
- ✓ Category B applies to vehicles for at most 8 passengers, excluding the driver, in addition to the mass limit.
- From age 17 you may already drive independently with a B licence, just like with 2toDrive supervision.
Correct answer: Category B applies to vehicles for at most 8 passengers, excluding the driver, in addition to the mass limit.
Explanation
Category B applies to vehicles for at most 8 passengers, excluding the driver, in addition to the mass limit
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
- Up to 750 kg is always allowed; heavier is only allowed if the COMBINATION's mass stays at or under 3,500 kg
- The minimum age for category B is 18. 2toDrive is supervised driving from age 17, not independent authorisation
