Class B96

DRIVING LICENSE CLASS - B96

The "driving license class" B96 is not a driving license class as such, but an extension of driving license class B.

Class B or BF17 is required to acquire this license category!

Legislators do not prescribe a minimum number of hours for practice, but safe operation and control of the vehicle should be achieved. So the number of practice hours depends on your individual skills.

The training includes:

270 minutes of practical driver training

After completing the training, you will receive a training certificate for presentation at the driver's license office.
