With a Category B license, the maximum authorised mass (zulässige Gesamtmasse) of the trailer can be up to 750 kg. If the trailer's maximum authorised mass exceeds 750 kg, the maximum authorised mass of the entire vehicle combination (car + trailer) must not exceed 3,500 kg.
Outside built-up areas and on Autobahnen, the general speed limit for a car with a trailer is 80 km/h. A higher speed of 100 km/h is permitted only if the car-trailer combination meets specific technical requirements and has a special 100 km/h approval sticker.
A Category B96 extension is required if the maximum authorised mass of the vehicle combination (car + trailer) exceeds 3,500 kg but does not exceed 4,250 kg. A Category BE license is necessary if the maximum authorised mass of the trailer exceeds 750 kg AND the maximum authorised mass of the combination exceeds 4,250 kg, or if the trailer itself has a maximum authorised mass over 3,500 kg.
An unbraked trailer's actual total weight (tatsächliches Gesamtgewicht) must not exceed 750 kg. Additionally, it must not exceed half of the towing vehicle's kerb weight (Leermasse) plus 75 kg (the driver's estimated weight), whichever value is lower.
The 100 km/h approval is a special permit (indicated by a round pink sticker) that allows certain car-trailer combinations to travel up to 100 km/h on Autobahnen and Kraftfahrstraßen. This requires the vehicle and trailer to meet specific technical criteria, such as having suitable tires, an anti-sway coupling, and a specific weight ratio between the towing vehicle and the trailer.
Trailers must be equipped with functioning rear lights, stop lights, indicator lights, and rear reflectors. These lights must be visible and correctly positioned according to StVZO regulations, ensuring safety and clear communication with other road users.
By completing German Trailer Rules, 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 Germany. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
