Frequently asked about Category BE

No. BE is a purely practical extension. Since you already hold Category B, theory is skipped entirely - you drive the 5 mandatory drives and go straight to the practical TÜV test drive.

With BE you can tow trailers over 750 kg, with the combination weighing up to 7 tonnes in total. That covers caravans, horse trailers, workshop and boat trailers. Above 7 t combined weight you need C1E.

If you're learning trailer driving completely from scratch: 2-3 practice lessons before the 5 mandatory drives. Anyone who's already moved a trailer before often gets through with the mandatory drives alone.
