EU raises B-category weight limit to 4.25 tonnes
Original source: Autoviny.sk

The European Union has approved an increase in the maximum permissible mass for B-category driving licences from 3.5 to 4.25 tonnes. The change affects nearly one million drivers, particularly in Slovakia, where heavier motorhomes previously required a C1 licence. Owners of motorhomes and electric vehicles will benefit, but must complete a short training course and update their vehicle registration.
