Driving Licence B1
Driving licence B1 is a limited version of the B category. It permits drivers to drive small vehicles, such as vans or lorries. It permits drivers to tow trailers up to 750kg.

Vehicles that you are able to drive with a B1 licence
A B1 licence allows you drive vehicles that have an maximum mass of 3,500kg (3.5 tonnes) and can carry up to eight people with drivers. This category covers a broad range of vehicle types from compact hatchbacks to spacious estates and versatile SUVs. A category C license allows you to tow trailers up to 775kg.
A category A license allows you to drive two-wheeled vehicles including motorcycles. The previous category A1 licence, which was replaced by the new category, allows you to drive light motorcycles that have an engine capacity of up to 125 cc and an engine power-to-weight ratio of up to 11 kW. You can also drive vehicles with a category A licence that have the ability to go up to 31 mph but you must carry helmets when driving the vehicles.
If you have a category A license you are able to drive vehicles that have a maximum allowable mass (MAM) of up to 12,000 kg and allow a maximum of nine passengers, with the exception of the driver. If you'd like to be able to drive heavier vehicles, you will be required to pass the CPC four-part test.
To get a B1 license you must pass both the theory and practical tests. The theory test will assess your knowledge of road signs, driving laws and hazards. You will be asked about the history of road law. You can prepare for the exam by taking several mock tests. You can learn how to pass an actual test by taking lots of mock tests.
This type of license requires passing the theory test as well as the driving test in practice, and a medical examination. The test for practicals will involve driving a vehicle on street-like conditions, and the theory test will comprise multiple-choice questions that will be taken using a computer that is approved. You will also need to pass a medical examination by a licensed doctor. The doctor will test your eyesight, blood pressure and attest to your general health. If you're traveling for work, you may have to pass a medical questionnaire as well.
You can't drive a vehicle with a an b1 license
A driving licence is an official document that permits you to drive on public roads in your country or most other countries. It is a valuable piece of paper that is an investment in time and money. However, obtaining it can be a difficult task. It is recommended to practice a good deal and take as many mock tests as you can before taking the actual test. The goal of the mock tests is to simulate the test. You will also be able to understand the driving rules and hazards.
The categories of licences describe the vehicles you can drive and the maximum mass (MAM) of the vehicle. These codes are listed on the reverse of the licence. They are usually written in italics and lower case, though some licences employ upper-case letters to differentiate between the different categories. For example, category M is a moped licence that allows the driver to operate two-wheeled motorized vehicles with engines with less than 50cc.
If you have a category B driving licence (which includes cars), you can drive four-wheeled vehicles that weigh up to 400kg without load or 550kg when transporting goods. You can also add trailers up to 750kg.
A category B license isn't valid for driving minibuses. You must pass the category C test to drive larger vehicles. The category C licence is not available to anyone under 18. You may also pass the test to obtain C1 category license, which allows driving vehicles up to 11,000 kg and smaller trailers. This is an option if you are looking to drive a small truck or van with a trailer.
If you don't have a licence category that permits you to drive a certain type of vehicle, you could face heavy fines and penalty points. If you are found driving a vehicle that is not licensed properly, you could be fined up a maximum of PS1,000 and receive between three and six penalty points.
Tow vehicles that you cannot tow without a b1 license
If you hold a B1 license, you are permitted to tow a trailer that weighs up to 750kg. The reason for this is that the combined weight of a vehicle and trailer can't exceed 3.5 tons. You'll need a Category B+E licence to drive a heavier trailer. This is expensive and requires a state-issued and practical examination.
If your licence is B1 Auto, you can only tow small vehicles with an automatic gearbox, such as cars or small vans. This licence does not allow you to drive a manual vehicle and, therefore, if you wish to tow a larger vehicle you will need to retake the driving test. Alternatively, you can obtain a category BE licence that allows you to tow a vehicle that has a maximum authorised mass (MAM) of 3,500kg with a trailer.
If your licence is code 96, you are able to also tow vehicles. This type of license permits you to drive cars with an MAM of up to 3500kg, and tow trailers up to 750kg. The size of the trailer depends on the date when your BE license was issued.
You can also tow a trailer that weighs up to 750kg when you have B1 licences, without code 96 or BE. You can tow a trailer designed to transport a horse or boat. This kind of trailer, also referred to as a lorry-mounted trailer, is usually attached to a tractor or a truck.
The first type was a class 3 copyright, which allowed for the use of a trailer. The licence was later rewritten to become the BE licence, which only allows you to drive a trailer up to the maximum gross vehicle mass (GVM) weight of 7.5 tonnes.
The B license is a fantastic alternative for drivers who intend to own their vehicles but do not plan to make use of them for commercial reasons. The B license can be used for commercial or private vehicles that have up to nine seats. It also gives the driver to pull a trailer of up to 750kg.
Vehicles that you can't tow without a B2 licence
The B1 driving licence is a less restrictive version of the B category copyright. This licence allows you to drive vehicles up to 400kg (or 550kg for vehicles designed to transport goods). This licence isn't valid for driving trucks or vans, but you can still drive small commercial vehicles such as light trucks, cargo carriers and trailers. It is also possible to pull a trailer that has a GVM of up to 3.5 tonnes with this licence.
You'll require a Category B+E license if you wish to drive heavy vehicles. This license comes with the state-specific exam and the practical test that can be expensive. You can also choose Category B with code96, which permits drivers to drive vehicles that weigh up to 3.5 tonnes. This license doesn't allow you to tow vehicles whose GVM is greater than the vehicle's.
The categories on your licence serve to clarify the kinds of vehicles you are able to operate. Certain categories on your licence will require you to pass additional tests or qualifications to be able website drive certain kinds of vehicles. You can ask for a translation of your licence in case you aren't sure what the categories mean.
A B2 licence allows you to drive small passenger cars with nine seats and an overall length of less than 6 meters. You can also tow a trailer of up to 750 kilograms. You can also drive other vehicles that have B2 licenses, such as C1 (small automatic car), C3(low-speed truck), and C4 (tricycle).
The gold license is a category that recognizes drivers who have an impeccable driving record.
