Just before the Moerdijk bridge, in the early morning mist, you are driving a car of 2,800 kg permitted maximum mass with a 900 kg trailer (combination 3,700 kg). Which licence do you need at minimum?
- Plain B suffices, because the trailer is lighter than 3,500 kg
- BE is mandatory, B+code 96 is not allowed here
- C1E, because the combination is above 3,500 kg
- ✓ B + code 96 (or BE)
Correct answer: B + code 96 (or BE)
Explanation
False
Why learners get this wrong
- ≤750: B · 750-4,250 combi: B+96/BE · >4,250: BE
- At 3,700 kg combination B+code 96 already suffices; BE only becomes mandatory above 4,250 kg
- C1E is only needed above the BE limits (>7,000 kg combination or trailer >3,500 kg)
