A Category B license in Austria allows you to tow light unbraked trailers up to 750 kg, or heavier trailers if the vehicle combination's maximum permissible total mass does not exceed 3,500 kg. A Category BE license permits towing heavier trailers where the trailer's maximum permissible mass exceeds 750 kg and the vehicle combination's maximum permissible total mass exceeds 3,500 kg, typically up to 3,500 kg for the trailer itself.
Code 96 is an additional endorsement for your Category B license in Austria, requiring a 7-hour practical training. It allows you to tow heavier trailers where the maximum permissible total mass of the vehicle combination is between 3,500 kg and 4,250 kg, bridging the gap between a standard B license and a full BE license.
Proper load distribution is crucial for trailer stability. Heavy items should be placed low, directly over or slightly in front of the trailer's axle(s). The load must be securely fastened to prevent shifting, which can severely impact handling, braking, and cause dangerous swaying (snaking) at higher speeds or during emergency maneuvers.
When towing a trailer in Austria, specific lower speed limits generally apply. On motorways (Autobahn) and expressways (Schnellstraße), the usual speed limit for car-trailer combinations is 100 km/h. On other roads, it is typically 80 km/h, but can be lower depending on the trailer's weight and braking system. Always adhere to posted signs and current regulations.
On rural roads, an improperly loaded trailer can be highly dangerous. Too much weight at the rear can cause the trailer to sway violently, making steering difficult, especially during turns or when encountering crosswinds. Reduced braking efficiency and increased stopping distances are also significant risks, particularly on winding or uneven rural routes.
By completing BE & Trailer Towing, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Austria. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
