1What is the maximum statutory speed limit on a Hungarian motorway (autópálya) for a passenger car towing a trailer, in the absence of signs indicating a lower limit?
A.80 km/h
B.90 km/h
C.100 km/h
D.130 km/h
Explanation: Under KRESZ 26. § (1), a motor-vehicle combination may travel at no more than 80 km/h on a motorway. The lower combination limit applies even though a solo passenger car may travel faster.
2What is the maximum permitted speed limit for a passenger car towing a trailer on an express road (autóút) outside built-up areas in Hungary?
A.70 km/h
B.80 km/h
C.90 km/h
D.110 km/h
Explanation: Under KRESZ 26. § (1) b), the speed limit for vehicle combinations on express roads (autóút) outside built-up areas is 70 km/h (whereas solo passenger cars may travel up to 110 km/h).
3When driving a car and trailer combination on other rural roads (outside built-up areas, not being a motorway or express road), what is the maximum statutory speed limit?
A.50 km/h
B.60 km/h
C.70 km/h
D.90 km/h
Explanation: According to KRESZ 26. § (1) b), vehicle combinations outside built-up areas on other roads are limited to a maximum speed of 70 km/h (compared to 90 km/h for solo passenger cars).
4What is the general statutory speed limit for a vehicle combination operating within a built-up area (lakott területen) in Hungary, unless signs post a different limit?
A.30 km/h
B.40 km/h
C.60 km/h
D.50 km/h
Explanation: Under KRESZ 26. § (1) a), the general speed limit in built-up areas for all motor vehicles, including vehicle combinations, is 50 km/h unless specific road signs indicate otherwise.
5A driver operating a Category BE car and trailer combination approaches an open rural road posted with an '80 km/h' speed limit sign. What is the driver's maximum legal speed?
A.70 km/h, because a posted speed sign higher than the vehicle's statutory category cap does not raise the combination's general rural speed limit
B.80 km/h, because posted speed signs always override general category speed limits for all vehicles
C.90 km/h, because the sign cancels all general towing restrictions
D.60 km/h, because drivers towing trailers must deduct 20 km/h from any posted speed sign
Explanation: Under KRESZ principles, road signs indicating a higher speed than the general statutory speed limit for that specific vehicle category (70 km/h for combinations on rural roads) do not permit that vehicle to exceed its statutory category ceiling unless explicitly indicated by supplementary plates.
6Under KRESZ 37. § (1), what minimum speed capability on level ground must a vehicle combination possess to be legally permitted to enter and use a motorway?
A.50 km/h
B.60 km/h
C.70 km/h
D.80 km/h
Explanation: Under KRESZ 37. § (1), a motorway may only be entered and used by motor vehicles and vehicle combinations that are mechanically and legally capable of reaching a speed of at least 60 km/h on level ground.
7You are driving a Category BE vehicle combination on a Hungarian motorway that has three lanes traveling in your direction. Which lanes are you legally permitted to use?
A.Any of the three lanes, provided you do not exceed 90 km/h
B.Only the extreme right lane at all times, with no overtaking permitted
C.Only the two rightmost lanes; driving in the third (leftmost) lane is strictly prohibited
D.The middle and leftmost lanes, leaving the right lane strictly for freight trucks
Explanation: Under KRESZ 36. § (3), on a road with more than two marked lanes in the same direction, only passenger cars and motorcycles may enter the third and further inner lanes, except to turn left. A car-and-trailer combination must therefore remain in the two rightmost lanes for ordinary travel and overtaking.
8On a four-lane motorway section in Hungary, a Category BE combination encounters slower traffic moving side-by-side in lanes 1 and 2 at 70 km/h. Can the combination enter lane 3 to overtake?
A.Yes, because overtaking is unrestricted across all lanes during daytime
B.Yes, provided the pass is completed in under 30 seconds
C.Yes, but only if the combination is traveling at its maximum motorway speed of 80 km/h
D.No, vehicle combinations are restricted by KRESZ to the two rightmost lanes and are strictly prohibited from entering lane 3 or lane 4
Explanation: Under KRESZ 36. § (3), a vehicle combination may not enter the third or further inner lane for ordinary travel or overtaking. The driver must remain in lane 2 and wait for the vehicle ahead to clear.
9Under what specific statutory condition is a vehicle combination legally permitted to use the third or leftmost lane on a multi-lane motorway in Hungary?
A.Only when positioning to turn left or follow a directional lane at an interchange or junction where lane arrows mandate it
B.Whenever the two rightmost lanes are moving below 50 km/h
C.During severe crosswinds to avoid high-sided lorries
D.Between 22:00 and 06:00 when overall motorway traffic volume is low
Explanation: KRESZ 36. § (3) expressly excepts entry into an inner lane when it is necessary to turn left. The driver must follow lane-control signs and change lanes safely.
10When is a driver towing a trailer legally permitted to use the hard shoulder (leállósáv) of a motorway under Hungarian traffic rules?
A.To drive at low speed if the combination cannot maintain 60 km/h on climbs
B.Only when stopping due to a technical breakdown, emergency, or explicit police instruction, but never for normal driving or overtaking
C.To bypass slow-moving queues during traffic jams up to 1,000 meters before an exit
D.To let faster passenger cars behind complete an easy pass
Explanation: Under KRESZ 37. § (3), driving on the hard shoulder is prohibited. It may only be used for stopping in case of technical failure/breakdown or when directed by traffic control authorities.

Hungary KRESZ Category BE Theory Exam: Suggested Study Strategy

1Memorize statutory combination speed limits: 80 km/h on motorways, 70 km/h on express roads and other rural roads, and 50 km/h in built-up areas under KRESZ 26. §.
2Understand mechanical overrun brake (ráfutó fék) components: the sliding drawbar shaft, internal hydraulic damper, reverse automatic mechanism (Rückfahrautomatik), and emergency breakaway cable attachment points.
3Keep vertical tongue load positive and within the lowest limit stated for the towing vehicle, coupling, and trailer; do not substitute a generic kilogram target for the plated limits.
4Know EN 12195 cargo securing formulas and practices: use anti-slip friction mats (µ = 0.6) to reduce required tie-down lashings, and always check standard tension force (STF) and lashing capacity (LC) ratings.
5Review multi-lane motorway restrictions: combinations may never use the 3rd or leftmost lanes on motorways with 3 or more lanes in one direction, and combinations over 7 meters long must leave overtaking gaps outside built-up areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Hungary KRESZ Category BE Theory Exam?

The KRESZ Category BE Theory Examination is the official computerized knowledge assessment administered by Közlekedési Alkalmassági és Vizsgaközpont (KAV). It qualifies holders of a Category B driver's licence to tow heavy trailers exceeding 750 kg Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM), where the combined MAM of the car and trailer reaches up to 7,000 kg (3,500 kg towing vehicle + 3,500 kg trailer).

How is the real KAV Category BE theory exam structured?

Under the official KAV curriculum (tantervi és vizsgakövetelmény, Row 10), the theoretical exam consists of 3 modular subjects completed during a single 75-minute computer sitting: (1) Közlekedési alapismeretek (K - Traffic Rules): 25 questions, 35 points, pass mark 30 points, 25 minutes; (2) Szerkezeti és üzemeltetési ismeretek (Szü - Vehicle Mechanics): 25 questions, 25 points, pass mark 21 points, 25 minutes; and (3) Munkavédelem, tűzvédelem, szállítás (M - Safety and Transport): 25 questions, 25 points, pass mark 21 points, 25 minutes. Total exam: 75 questions, 85 total points, 72 points overall passing requirement, with passing marks required in all three subjects.

What are the examination fees for Category BE in Hungary?

According to the 2026 KAV statutory examination fee schedule, theoretical exam fees are HUF 12,700 per subject. Because Category BE comprises three separate subjects (K, Szü, and M), the total theoretical examination fee is HUF 38,100 (3 × HUF 12,700). Retakes are charged per failed subject module.

What speed limits apply to a car towing a trailer in Hungary?

Under KRESZ 26. §, vehicle combinations are limited to 80 km/h on motorways, 70 km/h on express roads and other roads outside built-up areas, and 50 km/h in built-up areas, subject to any lower applicable limit.

What is the difference between Category B Code 96 and Category BE?

Category B with national/EU Code 96 allows driving a car and trailer combination where the total combined Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM) does not exceed 4,250 kg, requiring only practical training/exam without a separate theory exam. Full Category BE allows towing any trailer up to 3,500 kg MAM behind a 3,500 kg Category B vehicle (total combination MAM up to 7,000 kg) and mandates passing the three-subject KAV theoretical examination and practical tests.
