1What is the maximum net engine power output permitted for a heavy motor quadricycle in Category B1?
A.4 kW
B.6 kW
C.15 kW (approximately 20 hp)
D.35 kW
Explanation: Under Hungarian and EU regulations (24/2005. GKM decree), Category B1 encompasses four-wheeled motor vehicles other than light quadricycles in AM, with a maximum net engine power not exceeding 15 kW.
2What is the maximum unladen mass (saját tömeg) for a Category B1 passenger-carrying quadricycle?
A.350 kg
B.400 kg (excluding the mass of batteries for electric vehicles)
C.550 kg
D.750 kg
Explanation: Under 24/2005. GKM decree, a Category B1 motor quadricycle designed for passenger transport must have an unladen mass not exceeding 400 kg, excluding the weight of traction batteries in electric quadricycles.
3What is the maximum unladen mass for a Category B1 quadricycle designed for the transport of goods?
A.400 kg
B.550 kg (excluding battery mass for electric vehicles)
C.750 kg
D.1,000 kg
Explanation: For motor quadricycles intended for goods transport, Category B1 permits an unladen mass of up to 550 kg, excluding the mass of propulsion batteries for electric variants.
4How is the mass of propulsion batteries treated when determining the unladen mass of an electric Category B1 quadricycle?
A.Battery weight is counted double
B.The mass of traction batteries is legally excluded from the unladen mass calculation
C.Battery weight is included only if it exceeds 100 kg
D.Electric quadricycles are completely exempt from mass regulations
Explanation: European and Hungarian driving licence directives explicitly exclude the mass of propulsion batteries from the unladen weight of electric quadricycles to prevent penalizing zero-emission designs.
5What is the minimum age to take the practical driving test and be issued a Category B1 driving licence in Hungary?
A.14 years
B.16 years
C.17 years
D.18 years
Explanation: The minimum age to take the practical test and obtain a Category B1 driving licence in Hungary is 16 years.

A.15 years exactly
B.15 years and 6 months
C.15 years and 9 months
D.16 years exactly
Explanation: Under 24/2005. GKM decree, candidates may take the theoretical KRESZ examination at most 3 months prior to reaching the minimum licensing age, which is 15 years and 9 months for Category B1.
7Which medical fitness category is required for a Category B1 driving licence applicant?
A.Group 1 (1. alkalmassági csoport)
B.Group 2 (2. alkalmassági csoport)
C.Occupational commercial aptitude certificate
D.No medical fitness certificate is required
Explanation: Hungarian medical-fitness rules place Category B1 applicants in Group 1. This is the medical-fitness grouping for the licence category; it should not be inferred from whether a particular journey is private or paid.
8Which lower category entitlement is automatically granted upon obtaining a Category B1 driving licence?
A.Category A1
B.Category AM (mopeds and light quadricycles)
C.Category T
D.Category B
Explanation: Holding a valid Category B1 driving licence automatically includes the entitlement to operate vehicles in Category AM (mopeds with design speed up to 45 km/h and light quadricycles).
9What key technical characteristics distinguish Category AM light quadricycles from Category B1 heavy quadricycles?
A.Category AM vehicles have 3 wheels, while B1 vehicles have 6 wheels
B.Category AM light quadricycles are limited to 45 km/h design speed and 6 kW power, whereas Category B1 heavy quadricycles may exceed 45 km/h and have up to 15 kW power and 400 kg unladen mass
C.There is no legal difference between AM and B1 vehicles
D.Category B1 vehicles must have diesel engines only
Explanation: Category AM includes light quadricycles whose technical limits include a 45 km/h maximum design speed and the applicable L6e mass and power caps. Category B1 covers heavier L7e quadricycles within the licence definition, including the 15 kW maximum net power; the complete homologation data, not one descriptive figure, determines the class.

About the Hungary KRESZ B1 Exam

The Hungary Category B1 KRESZ theory exam is administered by the Kozlekedesi Alkalmassagi es Vizsgakozpont (KAV) for drivers seeking qualification to operate heavy motor quadricycles (four-wheeled motor vehicles other than light quadricycles in Category AM) with an unladen mass not exceeding 400 kg (or 550 kg for vehicles intended for carrying goods), excluding battery mass in the case of electric vehicles, and with a maximum net engine power not exceeding 15 kW. Under 24/2005. (IV. 21.) GKM decree, the theory exam is the Kozlekedesi alapismeretek (K) computer-based test comprising 55 questions in 55 minutes, with 75 total points and 65 points required to pass. The test includes forty-five 1-point questions and ten 3-point questions. Following theory success, candidates must pass a vehicle-handling test and an on-road traffic test. Key theory areas include quadricycle technical boundaries, narrow-track vehicle stability, rollover risks, seat belt versus helmet rules depending on body construction, road access rules, lighting, intersection right of way, and zero-tolerance alcohol laws.

Hungary KRESZ B1: Suggested Study Strategy

1Remember the 10-point error allowance on the 75-point K test: ten questions are worth 3 points each, so four incorrect 3-point answers lose 12 points and exceed the passing allowance.
2Memorize the precise technical criteria for Category B1: Maximum unladen mass of 400 kg for passenger transport (550 kg for goods transport), excluding battery mass in EVs, and maximum net power of 15 kW.
3Understand safety equipment distinctions: If the vehicle has an enclosed cabin with factory seat belts, wear seat belts (no helmet needed); if it is open/straddle with handlebar steering, wearing an ECE-approved fastened helmet is mandatory.
4Master vehicle dynamics: Because quadricycles often have a narrower track and higher centre of gravity than standard passenger cars, abrupt steering inputs at speed can lead to roll instability.
5Review road access criteria: Hungarian law bars vehicles incapable of travelling at 60 km/h on level ground from using motorways and express roads; know your vehicle's registered design speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles can I drive with a Hungarian Category B1 licence?

A Category B1 licence authorizes you to drive four-wheeled motor vehicles (heavy quadricycles) other than light quadricycles in Category AM, with an unladen mass not exceeding 400 kg (or 550 kg for vehicles intended for carrying goods), excluding the mass of batteries for electric vehicles, and with a maximum net engine power not exceeding 15 kW. It also grants Category AM entitlements.

What is the format and passing score of the Category B1 KRESZ theory exam?

The official KAV Category B1 theory exam is a computer-based multiple-choice test consisting of 55 questions to be answered within 55 minutes. The maximum possible score is 75 points (forty-five 1-point questions and ten 3-point questions). Candidates must achieve at least 65 points to pass (allowing a maximum of 10 error points).

What are the age requirements for Category B1 in Hungary?

Candidates can enroll in the Category B1 training course at age 15 years and 6 months, take the KAV computer theory examination at age 15 years and 9 months, and take the practical driving test once they reach age 16.

What is the difference between Category AM light quadricycles and Category B1 quadricycles?

Category AM covers light quadricycles (moped-cars) with an unladen mass up to 425 kg, maximum design speed up to 45 km/h, and engine power up to 6 kW. Category B1 covers heavy quadricycles with engine power up to 15 kW, unladen mass up to 400 kg (550 kg for goods), and which are capable of exceeding 45 km/h.

Are helmets required when driving a Category B1 quadricycle?

If the quadricycle is equipped with an enclosed passenger compartment and factory safety belts, occupants must wear safety belts and do not need helmets. If the quadricycle is open and does not have an enclosed body or safety belts (such as an all-terrain quad), the driver and passengers must wear an approved, fastened safety helmet.

Can a Category B1 quadricycle drive on motorways in Hungary?

Under Hungarian KRESZ regulations, motorways and express roads may only be used by motor vehicles capable of maintaining a speed of at least 60 km/h on level roads. A Category B1 quadricycle whose official vehicle document certifies a maximum design speed of at least 60 km/h is legally permitted to enter motorways, whereas slower quadricycles are prohibited.

How much is the KAV Category B1 theory exam fee?

Under the 2026 KAV fee table, the computer theory examination fee for Category B1 (falling under the non-B category computer theory subject rate) is HUF 12,700.
