0.1 Category B licence: what you may drive

Q1) What is the maximum total weight of a car you may drive with a Category B licence?

1. 2,500 kg
2. 3,500 kg
3. 4,250 kg
4. No limit

Q2) How many passengers (excluding the driver) may you carry with a Category B licence?

1. 6
2. 7
3. 8
4. 9

Q3) With a normal B licence, what trailer total weight is always allowed (as a basic rule)?

1. 500 kg
2. 750 kg
3. 1,000 kg
4. 1,500 kg

Q4) With a normal B licence, when may you tow a trailer with a total weight over 750 kg?

1. Never
2. If combined total weight (car + trailer) is at most 3,500 kg
3. Only if the trailer has brakes
4. Only with BE

Q5) What is the key combined total weight limit for B96 (Extended B)?

1. 3,500 kg
2. 4,000 kg
3. 4,250 kg
4. 7,000 kg

Q6) In licence questions, which weight is most often used to decide what you are allowed to drive/tow?

1. Total weight (totalvikt)
2. Actual weight (bruttovikt)
3. Fuel weight
4. Driver’s weight only

Q7) You have the correct licence for a combination. What must also be checked to ensure it is legal and safe?

1. Only the trailer colour
2. Only the weather forecast
3. Only if the trailer is empty
4. The car’s technical limits (max trailer weight/train weight)

Q8) Scenario: Car total weight 2,100 kg. Trailer total weight 1,200 kg. Which licence is sufficient (licence perspective)?

1. No licence is needed
2. B can be sufficient (if technical limits allow)
3. B96 is required
4. Only BE is possible

Q9) Scenario: Car total weight 2,200 kg. Trailer total weight 1,600 kg. Combined total = 3,800 kg. Which licence is needed (licence perspective)?

1. B
2. No trailer licence needed
3. B96 (Extended B)
4. It is always illegal

Q10) What does B96 mainly change compared to B?

1. It increases the allowed combined total weight (car + trailer)
2. It allows a heavier car category than B
3. It removes the need to follow speed limits
4. It is only for electric cars

Q11) Why can a combination be legal “by licence rules” but still not allowed in reality?

1. Because the trailer is red
2. Because you are driving at night
3. Because the driver is tall
4. Because the car’s technical limits may be exceeded

Q12) What does “actual weight / bruttovikt” mean?

1. The maximum permitted weight of the vehicle
2. The vehicle’s weight right now (with current load)
3. Only the weight of the cargo
4. The weight of fuel in the tank

Q13) Which order is best for solving towing questions in the theory test?

1. Guess and move on
2. Look only at the trailer, ignore the car
3. Check total weights → check combined total → remember technical limits
4. Check only the weather and road signs

Q14) Scenario: You have a normal B licence. Your trailer has total weight 700 kg. Which statement is correct?

1. B can be sufficient (check the car’s technical limits)
2. B96 is required because any trailer needs B96
3. BE is always required for trailers
4. It is always illegal

Q15) Scenario: Car total weight 2,800 kg and trailer total weight 1,800 kg → combined total 4,600 kg. Which is true?

1. Normal B is enough
2. B96 is enough because it allows any combination
3. No licence is needed because you can drive slowly
4. B96 is not enough; you need a heavier trailer licence category (often BE) and technical limits must allow it

Q16) Which statement best describes the difference between B96 and BE?

1. They are the same thing
2. B96 extends the combined total limit; BE is a separate heavier-trailer category (plus technical limits)
3. BE is only for electric cars
4. B96 removes all towing rules

Q17) What can limit how heavy a trailer you may tow, even if your licence seems to allow it?

1. The car’s registration/technical limits
2. The colour of the car
3. The type of music you play
4. Your phone battery

Q18) Which answer is the best “complete” approach to towing safely and legally?

1. Only care about the 750 kg rule
2. Only care about the 4,250 kg rule
3. Check licence rules + technical limits + safe loading/stability
4. Drive slowly and any combo is OK

Q19) Which statement correctly describes the modern BE weight rule?

1. Car and trailer together may never exceed 4,250 kg
2. The trailer may have any total weight if it is empty
3. The towing vehicle may be up to 3,500 kg total weight and the trailer(s) up to 3,500 kg combined total weight
4. BE removes the car’s technical towing limits

Q20) A car has total weight 3,500 kg and the trailer has total weight 750 kg. Can normal B be sufficient from the licence perspective?

1. No, normal B combinations may never exceed 3,500 kg
2. Yes, because the trailer is at most 750 kg; technical limits must also allow it
3. Only if the trailer is unbraked
4. Only BE can tow a 750 kg trailer
