1 min reading time

Pulling a trailer with a B driving license?
The maximum permissible mass (MTM) of the vehicle is 3500 kg and the vehicle is suitable for the transport of up to 8 passengers, excluding the driver.
So this is valid when
- MTM trailer is less than 750 kg, or
-
MTM trailer is more than 750 kg, and
MTM car + MTM trailer together is no more than 3500 kg
When do I need a driving licence B + code 96?
An adapted driving licence B is required if your trailer weighs more than 750 kg and the maximum permitted mass (MTM) of your combination is more than 3500 kg.
So this is valid when
- MTM trailer is more than 750 kg, and
MTM car + MTM trailer together is more than 3500 kg, and
MTM car + MTM trailer together is no more than 4250 kg
When do I need a BE driving licence?
If the MTM of the towing vehicle plus your trailer exceeds 4,250 kg, you must be in possession of a BE driving licence
So this is valid when
- MTM trailer is more than 750 kg, and
MTM car + MTM trailer together is more than 4250 kg, and
MTM car + MTM trailer together is no more than 7000 kg
