Category BE is obtained by taking an exam at the Police, while code B96 requires no exam. The driving lessons take place in a BMW X3 with an automatic gearbox, fitted with a trailer. Lessons taught in English cost an extra 60 lei each.
Which one you need depends on how much the car and trailer weigh together. Both courses take place in a BMW X3 with an automatic gearbox.
A full licence for heavy trailers
An extension of the B licence, a simple procedure
Category BE is a licence in its own right: you obtain it after an exam at the Police and it allows you to tow the heaviest trailers. Code B96 is not a separate category but an extension of your B licence — it requires no exam and covers medium-weight trailers. Which one you need depends on how much the car and trailer weigh together.
MAM = maximum authorised mass. Both the mass of the car and that of the trailer count, but above all their combined total.
| Licence | Car MAM | Trailer MAM | Car + trailer total |
|---|---|---|---|
| B | up to 3,500 kg | up to 750 kg | does not matter |
| B | up to 3,500 kg | over 750 kg | up to 3,500 kg |
| B96 | up to 3,500 kg | over 750 kg | between 3,500 and 4,250 kg |
| BE | up to 3,500 kg | up to 3,500 kg | over 4,250 kg |
