What driving license is required, at a minimum, to drive a 20-seat bus (driver included) towing a trailer whose maximum authorized mass (MAM) is 650 kg?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The class D license authorizes driving automobiles designed and built to carry more than eight passengers in addition to the driver (General Driver Regulations, Article 4(2)). A bus with 20 seats, driver included, far exceeds the D1 limit, which goes up to sixteen passengers in addition to the driver. The holder of a class D license may tow a trailer whose maximum authorized mass (MAM) does not exceed 750 kg without any other authorization. Since the trailer in question has a MAM of 650 kg, the D license is enough. The D+E license would only be needed with a trailer of more than 750 kg MAM, and the D1+E is of no use at all for this bus, because its towing vehicle would have to be class D1.
