With a category BE licence<\/strong> you may tow a heavy trailer over 750 kg<\/strong> MAM with a category B vehicle (trailer up to 3,500 kg, combination up to 12,000 kg). All information reflects the rules that apply in the Walloon Region (and therefore also in Eupen).<\/p>\n

BE or code 96?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Licence<\/strong><\/td>\nPermitted<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
B<\/td>\nTrailer up to 750 kg, or a heavier trailer if the combination has a total MAM of no more than 3,500 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
B + code 96<\/td>\nCombination over 3,500 kg up to a maximum of 4,250 kg MAM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BE<\/td>\nTrailer over 750 kg up to 3,500 kg, combination up to 12,000 kg MAM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The same training and exam procedure apply to code 96 and BE.<\/p>\n

\n

Theory<\/h1>\n

There is no<\/strong> theory exam. You need a valid category B licence and must be at least 18 years old.<\/p>\n

\n

Practical training<\/h1>\n

Training at the driving school<\/h2>\n

At least 8 lessons<\/strong> at an approved driving school are required. The practical exam can then be taken.<\/p>\n

With a provisional licence<\/h2>\n

Alternatively, you can apply for a provisional licence (valid for 12 months, not extendable) with one or two supervisors. The supervisor must be at least 24 years old and have held a BE licence or B with code 96 for at least 6 years. After two failed exams, at least 4 lessons at an approved driving school are compulsory.<\/p>\n

\n

The practical exam<\/h1>\n

The practical exam consists of two parts:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Private ground<\/strong> with 6 manoeuvres: checks before driving, reversing in a straight line, reversing around a corner, parking along the kerb, reversing to a loading bay, and uncoupling and coupling the trailer<\/li>\n
  2. Public roads<\/strong> with an exam drive of at least 25 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If the manoeuvre part is failed, the public road part does not take place. A passed manoeuvre part remains valid for 1 year<\/strong>. During this time, only the public road part needs to be retaken.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Our training<\/h1>\n

    Our training takes place with a Dacia Duster and a trailer. This combination allows trouble-free training even for beginners, as the trailer is no wider than the towing vehicle.<\/p>\n

    Lessons are given in German and French.<\/p>\n

    Current prices for cat. BE can be found in our price list<\/a>. You can book lessons directly via online booking<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
