Question 1664 in the bank

A person is prohibited from driving a tractor that is joined to a trailer with an all up weight that exceeds 4,000 kg:

  1. Unless One year passed from the date he obtained the tractor driving license.
  2. Correct answer: Unless 6 months has passed from the date he obtained the tractor driving license.
  3. Unless 3 months passed from the date he obtained the tractor driving license.
  4. Unless he successfully completed a correct driving course.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Unless 6 months has passed from the date he obtained the tractor driving license.

A new tractor driver must first gain experience handling the tractor alone. Only after 6 months have passed since obtaining the tractor driving licence may he pull a trailer whose all up weight exceeds 4,000 kg. A heavy trailer changes braking, stability and turning behaviour, and that takes skill built up over time. A driving course does not replace this waiting period.
