B96 License: How to Avoid Getting C1 Category for Towing a Trailer
© Autovisie

Drivers with category B often face restrictions when towing a caravan or trailer. The key rule: the total permissible maximum mass of the car and trailer must not exceed 3500 kg, even if their actual weight is less. Non-compliance risks fines, road hazards, and insurance claim denial.

Solution — B96 License

Category B with code 96 increases the permissible total mass of the combination to 4250 kg. The cost is 300–500 euros and takes less time than obtaining category C1 (1500–2000 euros and several months of training). This makes B96 a more affordable option for motorhome and caravan owners.

Weekly Digest #19 · May 4–10

Sweden registered 62% more motorhomes and is preparing to let them drive faster. Chet Hanks moved into a retirees' trailer park in Nashville — for the country music career, not the savings. Plus a Korean workation site for 100 motorhomes, an unmanned trailer hotel on Hokkaido, and a gyrocopter pilot who landed on a highway and clipped an oncoming motorhome — all in this issue.

Will motorhomes soon require a tachograph?

The European Commission has clarified that EU member states can exempt privately used motorhomes and motorhome-trailer combinations over 7.5 tonnes from mandatory tachograph rules. This follows a proposal that would have affected vehicles towing a trailer or with a special loading device, impacting approximately 4,700 vehicles in Germany. The decision aims to reduce costs and legal uncertainty for private users, with industry associations calling for swift national implementation.
