Questions Learners Have About Italian Towing Rules

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Italian Towing Rules, including how questions match the official theory exam in Italy, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the maximum weight a Category B license holder can tow in Italy?

With a standard Category B license, you can tow an unbraked trailer up to 750 kg, or a braked trailer where its mass does not exceed the towing vehicle's empty mass, provided the combined total mass of the vehicle and trailer does not exceed 3500 kg. For combined masses between 3500 kg and 4250 kg, a B96 code on your license is required after passing a specific practical test.

What are the speed limits when towing a trailer in Italy?

When towing a trailer in Italy, the maximum speed limit is 80 km/h on motorways (autostrade) and 80 km/h on extra-urban roads (strade extraurbane). This is stricter than the general speed limits for vehicles without trailers.

Are there special rules for new drivers (neopatentati) towing trailers?

Yes, new drivers (neopatentati) who have held their Category B license for less than one year are generally not permitted to tow any trailer in Italy. This is an important restriction in addition to other neopatentato limits.
