Croatia Category CE Theory study guide
Croatia Category CE Theory · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Croatian C+E category licence allows a driver to operate a rigid lorry (C) with a trailer whose maximum authorised mass exceeds 750 kg - in practice an articulated tractor unit with semi-trailer or a rigid lorry towing a drawbar trailer. It is intended for drivers who already hold category C and want to work in goods transport, whether for a haulage company, as an owner-operator, or in construction, agriculture or removal work. The Croatia Category CE Theory study guide has 9 sections and about 2,775 words.
