100+ Free Category B/E Trailer Driving Test Practice Questions

No. Under Danish regulations set by Færdselsstyrelsen, there is no centralized computer-based theory examination for Category B/E. Candidates must complete mandatory driving school instruction (at least 4 theory lessons and 6 practical driving lessons) and then take an official practical driving test. Theoretical and technical knowledge is tested orally by the examiner during the safety check and coupling phases. This 100-question English MCQ bank is an educational study adaptation of the curriculum, not an official format simulation.

A standard Category B license permits driving a car up to 3,500 kg coupled with a trailer up to 750 kg, or a heavier trailer provided the combined permitted total weight does not exceed 3,500 kg. Category B with Code 96 (B+) allows a car up to 3,500 kg coupled with a trailer over 750 kg where the combination's permitted total weight is between 3,500 kg and 4,250 kg. Category B/E permits driving a car up to 3,500 kg coupled with a trailer with a permitted total weight up to 3,500 kg, allowing a total combination weight up to 7,000 kg.

The practical test takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes and includes five key parts: (1) Document inspection where the examiner asks the candidate to verify weights from the car and trailer registration certificates; (2) Pre-trip technical safety check of tires, lights, bearings, suspension, and overrun brakes; (3) Coupling and uncoupling demonstration performed in the correct safety order; (4) Oral questions on load securing, trailer dynamics, nose weight, and traffic rules; and (5) At least 25 minutes of on-road driving including reversing around a corner or along a curb.

Nose weight is the downward vertical load exerted by the trailer coupling on the towball. The current curriculum uses about 5–10% of actual trailer mass as a practical stability guide, without exceeding the lowest approved limit for the car, towbar, coupling, or trailer. Too little or negative nose weight can promote snaking; too much can overload the rear axle and reduce steering control.

To drive up to 100 km/h on Danish motorways, the trailer must: (1) be fitted with hydraulic shock absorbers on all wheels; (2) have tires less than 6 years old with a speed rating of at least L (120 km/h); (3) have an approved ISO friction stabilizer coupling or the towing car must have an approved electronic Trailer-ESP; (4) comply with specific weight ratios relative to the car's curb weight; and (5) be inspected, approved, and issued an official Danish Tempo 100 sticker by an authorized vehicle inspection center (bilsynsvirksomhed).

On Danish motorways with three or more lanes in the same direction of travel, vehicles towing trailers (and any vehicle combination exceeding 7 meters in total length) are strictly prohibited from using the leftmost lane(s) beyond the two rightmost lanes (lanes 1 and 2), unless preparing to turn left at a junction or where lane layout explicitly directs them to do so.
