About Which licence for which trailer: B, B+code 96, BE: which statement is WRONG?
- A plain B already suffices for a trailer up to 750 kg, or for a heavier trailer with a combination up to 3,500 kg.
- You must always look at BOTH masses.
- A plain B may tow a trailer above 750 kg as long as the combination of car and trailer stays up to 3,500 kg.
- ✓ As soon as the combination is heavier than 3,500 kg, a BE licence is mandatory.
Correct answer: As soon as the combination is heavier than 3,500 kg, a BE licence is mandatory.
Explanation
Between 3,500 and 4,250 kg combination a B with code 96 suffices (or BE by choice). BE only becomes mandatory above 4,250 kg
Why learners get this wrong
- A plain B already suffices for a trailer up to 750 kg, or for a heavier trailer with a combination up to 3,500 kg. BE is only mandatory above 4,250 kg combination
- You must always look at BOTH masses. A trailer up to 750 kg is allowed on B, but once the trailer is above 750 kg, the combination (3,500 / 4,250 kg) determines which licence is needed
- A plain B may tow a trailer above 750 kg as long as the combination of car and trailer stays up to 3,500 kg. The 750 kg threshold only applies to the trailer alone
