The EU has modernized its driving license regulations, allowing drivers with a standard class B license to operate heavier vehicles. New weight limits and extension codes, such as 96.02 for motorhomes over 3,500 kg and 96.03 for zero-emission vehicles, permit combinations up to 5,000 kg without requiring a higher license class. The changes aim to adapt rules to today's heavier vehicle fleet, including electric cars and motorhomes, but mandate specific training to ensure traffic safety.

NO Norway 2

The new EU directive permitting B-licence driving of motorhomes up to 4,250 kg officially enters into force on November 26, 2025. Member states have until November 26, 2029, to implement the rules into national law. Norway is currently reviewing the directive through the EEA process to ensure alignment with European regulations. The change requires a specific code (96.02), which may involve a one-day course or a test depending on national implementation.

A petition in the UK is calling for the standard car driving license (category B) to allow driving motorhomes up to 4,250 kg, instead of the current 3,500 kg limit. The proposal, which has gathered over 6,000 signatures, follows an EU regulation change and argues the current limit restricts market choice. The UK government has already eased the rule to 4,250 kg, but only for zero-emission vehicles.

Members of the Norwegian parliament have submitted a proposal to liberalize regulations for motorhomes. The proposal includes lowering the one-time registration tax for small motorhomes, changing ferry tariffs, simplifying the procedure for increasing permissible weight, and allowing the driving of vehicles up to 4.25 tons with a standard category B driver's license.
