Croatia Category BE Theory case studies
Croatia Category BE Theory · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Croatian Category BE entitlement lets you drive a passenger car (Category B) towing a trailer whose total mass exceeds 750 kg, so long as the combined mass of the towing vehicle and trailer stays within the limits set for the BE combination. It is aimed at drivers who already hold a Category B licence and need to pull larger, heavier trailers - a braked caravan, a boat trailer, a box trailer for work, or a horse trailer - rather than the small unbraked trailers covered by B alone. The Croatia Category BE Theory case studies are 5 cases and about 3,080 words.
