B
CAR LICENSE
Would you like to get your driver's license on the first try?
The B permit can be obtained from the age of 18, (although the theoretical exam can be taken three months before reaching the age and the practices can be started before being 18 years old and even before passing the theoretical exam.)
This license allows you to drive cars up to 3500 kg and up to 9 seats, and allows you to tow trailers up to 750 kg. (It also allows you to drive mopeds and when you are 3 years old, motorcycles authorized to drive with the A1 permit, only in Spain).
To obtain this permit you must pass 2 exams, one theoretical and one practical.
