Original source: Playtech.ro

Romania's updated 2025 Road Code introduces stricter regulations for drivers with a category B license, particularly concerning towing. Key changes include severe penalties for towing an unregistered trailer, which can constitute a criminal offense punishable by fines over 4,000 lei or imprisonment. The law also specifies technical conditions for towing, such as a maximum authorized mass of 3,500 kg for the vehicle-trailer combination and mandatory functional braking systems.

Romanian Highway Code Changes: What Vehicles Can Be Driven with a Category B License

New EU regulations allow Romanian drivers with a standard category B license to operate heavier vehicles under specific conditions. The permissible weight limit is extended from 3.5 to 4.25 tonnes, but only for electric or hybrid vehicles, and drivers must have held the license for at least two years. To obtain the extended license, drivers must complete a practical course without a new exam, and a digital driver's license will be introduced alongside the physical version.

EU changes category B driving license rules: new requirements for electric cars, motorhomes, and trailers

European authorities are preparing changes to category B driving licenses that will affect drivers of electric cars, motorhomes, and those towing trailers. The new directive proposes increasing the weight limit for certain vehicles that can be driven with a category B license. Motorhome drivers may be required to pass an additional exam or undergo special training. In Romania, an extended category B (code 96) already exists, allowing driving of combinations with a maximum authorized mass of up to 4250 kg after 7 hours of practical training.

With a B license you can also drive larger campers: EU revolution

New EU regulations extend the standard B driving license to allow driving heavier vehicles under specific conditions. From November, license holders with at least two years of experience can drive vehicles up to 4,250 kg unladen weight, but only if they are alternatively powered (electric, hydrogen, methane, or LPG). This change, which may require up to 7 hours of training, eliminates the need for a C, C1, or BE license for many larger campers and commercial vehicles.
