Law
Extension to class BE (trailer) with previous possession of class B197:
Anyone who has obtained class B with key number 197 receives an automatic restriction with key number 78 when extending the driving licence for the subsequent category BE, C or D, provided that the test for category BE, C, D is taken with an automatic vehicle.
The training and test for category BE, C or D now always takes place in a vehicle with automatic transmission at almost all driving schools.
This means that there is an automatic restriction for category BE, C or D.
-> A trailer may then only be towed by a car with automatic transmission.
This automatic transmission restriction could be removed if you prove your switching competence in a new practical test for category B.
No special trips, no theory lessons and no theory test are required for this short training course.
Extension to class BE (trailer) with previous possession of class B:
Anyone who has obtained category B does not receive an automatic transmission restriction when extending the driving licence for the subsequent category BE, C or D, even if the category BE, C or D test was taken with an automatic vehicle, as the ability to shift gears was already demonstrated during the category B test.
-> A trailer may be towed by a car with an automatic gearbox and a car with a manual gearbox.
