You are holding a driving permit class D. Your bus has the following specifications: - empty mass 13000 kg - permissible total mass 18000 kg - permissible towed load 2000 kg Which trailer are you allowed to tow?
750 kg
1000 kg
2000 kg
Here is Our AI Assistant's Explanation
With a driving permit class D, you are allowed to tow a trailer as long as the combined weight of the bus and trailer does not exceed the permissible limits. Your bus has an empty mass of 13,000 kg and a permissible total mass of 18,000 kg, meaning it can carry up to 5,000 kg in total (passengers, cargo, and trailer). The permissible towed load for your bus is 2,000 kg, but the key restriction here is that the trailer's weight plus the bus’s loaded weight must not surpass the vehicle's permissible total mass. Since the bus alone is heavy, towing a trailer over 750 kg would generally exceed your driving permit restrictions. Therefore, with class D, you are allowed to tow only a trailer up to 750 kg in this scenario. This ensures safe and legal operation under German traffic regulations.
