Show answer

Correct answer

  • BLa autorización B-96.The B-96 authorisation.
Explanation

With a B licence you may tow a trailer of more than 750 kg as long as the combination does not exceed 4,250 kg; if it exceeds 3,500 kg, as here with 3,800 kg, you must also pass the test or complete the training that gives you code 96 (Articles 4 and 5 of the General Driver Regulations). You do not need a B+E licence.
