Correct answer

  • CNo, ya que para conducir dicho conjunto debemos poseer el permiso B+una prueba.No, because to drive that combination we must hold the B licence plus an additional test.
Explanation

With a B licence you may tow a trailer of more than 750 kg if the MAM of the combination does not exceed 3,500 kg. Here the combination adds up to 3,800 kg, so, under article 5.5 of the General Drivers Regulations, you need to pass an additional test (code 96) or hold a B+E licence.
