Driving licence category CE

The "master class" among truck driving licences is the CE category. Concerning the permissible total weight of the combination of towing vehicle and trailer, there are no more restrictions. That is why professional drivers bear a particularly high responsibility in this case. 

• Minimum age: You must be at least 21 years old to drive a CE category vehicle. However, it can be reduced to 18 by some state-recognised training occupations. These include professional drivers, driving specialists, road maintenance staff and plant firefighters.
• Documents: A valid identity card or passport, biometric passport photo, possibly first aid course, ophthalmological certificate, medical certificate of physical and mental aptitude are required.
• Limitation: All "truck categories" are only granted for five years. For renewal, a new medical and ophthalmological certificate must be presented.
• Examinations: For the CE category, a theory examination and a practical examination must be taken again. Scroll down for the exact course of the training.
• That's what you get to drive on a CE license: Motor vehicles of category C with a trailer exceeding 750 kg.

Theory:

For the theory, lessons will be generally six lessons raw material and four lessons category-specific additive à 90 minutes.

In the theoretical test for the CE-driving license category, 30 questions must be answered, with a maximum of 10 error points. In this test, the incorrect answering of at least two questions with five error points each also leads to automatic non-existence. The examination usually lasts 45 minutes.
