BE and B96 PERMITS

The BE license

Since January 19, 2013, the old E / B license has become the BE, and has adapted to the arrival of the B96 training by offering the possibility of towing a trailer weighing more than 750 kilos with a set whose sum of GVW is greater than 4,250 kilos. In addition to this simple arrangement, the E / B permit remains very close by its tests in plateau and in circulation as well as its obligation to re-pass the code for permits over 5 years old. The E / B license remains acquired and offers equivalence with the B96 ... As of January 19, nothing changes for holders of the old E / B license, equivalence with the new BE license is automatic upon renewal of the permit, every 5 years, after the medical examination. Likewise, having the E / B or BE license obviously dispenses with having followed the B96 training.

B96 training

"Decree of 17 January 2013 relating to the training required for holders of category B driving license for the purpose of driving a set made up of a towing vehicle falling under category B to which is attached a trailer whose weight is total authorized laden load (GVWR) is greater than 750 kilograms, when the sum of the GVWR of the towing vehicle and the trailer is greater than 3,500 kilograms without exceeding 4,250 kilograms. »The B96 training consists of 4 hours off circulation (which alternates theory and practice) and 3 hours on circulation. Carried out over a single day (or two half-days), this training is offered at a price of 350 euros. In addition to its very simplified form, this B96 does not include any examination or control: full training is sufficient to obtain it.
