Norway Theory Test - Category CE case studies
Norway Theory Test - Category CE · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Norwegian theory test for driving licence category CE is the knowledge component of the qualification to drive a lorry with a heavy trailer - a rigid vehicle or tractor unit coupled to a trailer whose permitted maximum mass exceeds 750 kg. The class is aimed at professional drivers and at private candidates who need the combination entitlement, and it builds on the C category: you must already hold (or be qualifying for) class C before CE can be issued. The Norway Theory Test - Category CE case studies are 5 cases and about 3,838 words.
