Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is that a complementary authorization (Code B-96) or the B+E license is required. Detailed Explanation:  Analyze the trailer: It has an MMA of 800 kg. Since it exceeds 750 kg, it is considered a 'non-light' trailer.  Class B Rule: With a non-light trailer, the sum of the car's MMA the trailer's MMA cannot exceed 3,500 kg with just the standard Class B license.  Calculation: 3,000 kg (car) 800 kg (trailer) = 3,800 kg.  Conclusion: Since the combination weighs 3,800 kg, it exceeds the 3,500 kg limit of the standard Class B. However, since it does not exceed 4,250 kg, it can be driven if you obtain the B-96 Authorization.  License seniority (3 years) only applies to validating the A1 license (motorcycles), not for increasing towing weight limits.
