Since 1 April 2003, authorisation to drive a category-B vehicle (minibuses and cars) while towing a trailer has no longer been automatically incorporated into the driving license. This means that a separate car trailer test must be taken in order to obtain the relevant authorisation. Feedback from our customers has shown that many motorists are not aware of this requirement. Driving a vehicle while towing a trailer without having obtained the relevant driving license category constitutes the offence of “driving without a valid diving license” as stipulated in the Road Traffic Act SVG Art. 95 and is subject to prosecution.
In the event of an accident, the insurance company may even deny coverage. If you or your employees need to drive vehicles towing a trailer, you can easily ascertain if you or they have the relevant authorisation. The credit-card format driving licenses must indicate category B/E while the old blue driving licenses must indicate category E. If either you or your employees do not have the authorisation to drive while towing a trailer, we will be happy to provide you with the necessary training.
The practical exercises are a prerequisite for the safe handling of a motorbike or scooter and form the basis of advance training on the road.
This basic training course must be completed within 4 months of the learner’s license being issued. The learner’s license is then extended for a further 12 months.
