Question 330 in the bank

Which trailer can be towed by a class B driver’s license holder using a vehicle that is approved for towing?

  1. Correct answer: When the all-up weight is not more than 1,500kilos
  2. A trailer with an overall permissible weight of more than 1,500 kg.
  3. A trailer with an overall permissible weight of no more than 2,000 kg.
  4. None. A holder of such a license is absolutely forbidden to tow a trailer.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: When the all-up weight is not more than 1,500kilos

A class B licence holder may tow, with a vehicle approved for towing, only a light trailer whose all-up (total permissible) weight is not more than 1,500 kg. This limit keeps the combination stable and controllable for a regular car driver. Towing anything heavier, such as a 2,000 kg trailer, requires an appropriate higher licence. Claiming that towing is completely forbidden for class B is wrong.

Topic: Rules and regulations. The bank marks it for these classes: Light truck (C1), Private car (B).
