Your vehicle
For your safety and fun in training, you drive on top-equipped vehicles of the latest models. Professional maintenance and cleanliness of our vehicles is a matter of course.
Your training may also take place on a car with an automatic transmission.
With driving licence categories B197 and B96, you can also tow the trailer with a car with manual transmission.
The B197 category allows you to drive both automatic and manual transmission vehicles, even though the test was taken on an automatic vehicle. This applies as long as you have completed the prescribed 10 driving hours on a manual transmission vehicle.
Key number 96 (B96) is an extension of category B, which allows you to tow heavier trailers. It is not a separate test and is therefore not subject to the restriction on automatic vehicles.
This means that you can drive both manual and automatic vehicles with your combination of B197 and B96 and therefore also tow heavier trailers within the B96 limits.
Vehicle combination from:
- a motor vehicle with max. 3500 kg total weight and
- a trailer over 750 kg permissible total mass, provided that the permissible total mass of the vehicle combination (towing vehicle + trailer) is more than 3500 kg, but only max. Is 4250 kg
Examples of a vehicle combination:
- 2050 kg (e.g. BMW Touring 320d) + 1800 kg (e.g. horse trailer) = 3850 kg
- 2145 kg (e.g. BMW X1 20d) + 2000 kg (Horse trailer) = 4145 kg
With class B with key number 96 you can drive these vehicle combinations. Not with class B!
z.G. = permissible total mass
