What is driving licence B and how do you get it?

Category B driving licence is the most common driving licence category in Belgium. It allows you to drive passenger cars, vans up to 3,500 kg and vehicles with up to 8 passengers. Most Belgians obtain it at 17 or 18 years old.

To obtain a Category B driving licence, you go through two tests: the theory test and the practical test. In between, you practise with a provisional licence. The full process takes at least 5 months — in practice often 6 to 12 months.

The Category B theory test is the starting point. Without a valid theory certificate, you cannot apply for a provisional licence. That is why it pays to prepare the theory thoroughly — every day of delay costs time in your practical training.

How does the Category B driving theory test work?

The category B driving theory test is a computer-based test at an approved test centre. You answer 50 multiple-choice questions — each on a separate screen, each read aloud. You have an average of 15 seconds per question. At the end, you see your result immediately.

Not all mistakes carry the same weight. The test distinguishes between minor mistakes (1 point) and serious offences (5 points). Two serious mistakes means immediate deferral — even if you had got the rest perfect.
