Load and trailer

For a house move along the A2 you hitch a closed trailer with a permitted maximum mass of 1,100 kg behind a van with a permitted maximum mass of 3,500 kg. The trailer has two axles. Which licence do you need?

BE, because the combination together weighs more than 4,250 kg
C1E, because a trailer with two axles counts as a heavy trailer
B with code 96, because it applies up to a 7,000 kg combination

Explanation

False — the number of axles does not decide the licence. C1E is only needed above the BE limits (combination over 7,000 kg or trailer heavier than 3,500 kg) (Book p.234-235).
