    ¿Podemos conducir con el permiso B un conjunto de vehículos que supere los 3.500kg?

    With the B licence, can we drive a combination of vehicles that exceeds 3,500 kg?

    • ASí, si el remolque es ligero.Yes, if the trailer is light.
    • BNo, en ningún caso podemos superar los 3.500kg.No, we can never exceed 3,500 kg.
    • CSí, si el remolque es pesado.Yes, if the trailer is heavy.
    Explanation

    With the B licence we can drive: motor cars that do not exceed a MAM of 3,500 kg and cannot carry more than 9 people, including the driver. They may tow a trailer that does not exceed a MAM of 750 kg. They may also tow a trailer with a MAM over 750 kg as long as the combination (towing vehicle plus trailer) does not exceed a MAM of 3,500 kg. (If it exceeds 3,500 kg, up to 4,250 kg, you must obtain the B96 authorisation.) So we can drive a motor car of up to 3,500 kg with a trailer of up to 750 kg, and then the combination will exceed 3,500 kg.

    Un turismo de nueva matriculación de uso privado, ¿cuándo deberá pasar la próxima inspección técnica del vehículo?

    When must a newly registered private car have its next vehicle inspection?

    • AA los 3 años desde la fecha de expedición de la Tarjeta de Inspección Técnica.3 years after the date the technical inspection card was issued.
    • BA los 5 años.After 5 years.
    • CA los 4 años desde la fecha de matriculación.4 years after the date of registration.
    Explanation

    Private vehicles used for carrying people, with up to nine seats including the driver's, must pass the ITV (vehicle inspection) 4 years after the date of registration. After that, every two years until they are 10 years old, and every year once they are over 10. The inspection result can be: favourable – the vehicle is fit to be driven; if it has minor defects, they must be repaired, but there is no need to return for a new inspection. Unfavourable – when the inspection finds defects that seriously affect the vehicle's safety, the inspection body keeps the ITV card and gives the registered keeper a receipt for it. The receipt is valid only for the period given to fix the defects, and for the route from the station to the workshop where the vehicle must be repaired and back for a new inspection. Negative – the vehicle is not allowed to be driven. It must be taken from the station to its destination by other means (a tow truck).
