(extension without testing)
Description: With this class B car driving license you are allowed to drive motor vehicles (light trucks or cars) with a trailer with a total mass of 3,500 kg to 4,250 kg. The key number 96 will later be noted on the driving license and is valid throughout the EU. That’s why it’s also called a trailer driving license.
Process: For this type of extension (trailer driving license), you only need to complete a course at a DRIVING SCHOOL, which consists of a theoretical and a practical part. Also possible with us in a one-day course (by arrangement).

class B
Description: With this car driving license, you can drive a combination of towing vehicle and trailer with a total mass (GVW) of over 4,250 kg. The BE driving license is useful if you want to tow a horse trailer, for example. So if you want to tow heavy trailers, you need the real BE trailer driving license.
The maximum weight (GVW) of the combination is limited to 7000 kg permissible total mass (GVW) E.g.: 3500 kg towing vehicle + 3500 kg trailer.
Process: If you already have a Class B driving license, you only have to complete the (compulsory) DRIVING LESSONS and a practical test (e.g. via TÜV Rheinland) for Class BE.
5 driving hours (lessons of 45 minutes each) (3 cross-country trips and one hour on the motorway and at night) are mandatory.
There is no theoretical EXAM.

With the old class 3?
In the past, there was no trailer license; you were automatically allowed to tow a trailer with your towing vehicle license. The limits of driving authorization resulted from the number of axles, the permissible trailer load and the permissible total weight.
Anyone who has a driving license class 3 enjoys grandfathering protection and automatically receives class BE when exchanged. The key number BE 79.06 documents in the driving license that heavier trailers can also be towed.
