    You want to tow a caravan with an unladen weight of 500 kilograms and a mass of 1,000 kilograms with your car, which has a mass of 2,500 kilograms and an unladen weight of 1,500 kilograms. Which licence do you need to drive this combination?

If the combination does not exceed 3,500 kg, the B licence is enough even if the trailer is over 750 kg (Article 4 of the General Driver Regulations).
