Document class DE combination training. Bus plus trailer.
RoadReview is the driving-school software for class DE training — the class D bus with a trailer over 750 kg. Because DE needs no separate theory exam, the focus is on practical training, the exam and the record.

A bus combination on D — no theory exam
Class DE requires a valid class D and extends it to trailers over 750 kg. No separate theory exam is required. RoadReview runs DE as its own enrolment on the profile and stores the class D prerequisite.
- DE enrolment on the same student profile
- Class D prerequisite stored and visible
- Vehicle and trailer assignment in the fleet
Practice with the bus rig — focus on driving
With no theory exam pending, RoadReview centres DE training on practice: combination drives are recorded, rated and evaluated per student, with notes pinned via geo-feedback. Any class-specific requirements come from the licence-class catalogue.
- Practical drives with rating and history per student
- Geo-feedback and learning progress as for the base classes
- Requirements from the catalogue, not assumed
Time limit, exam and digital record
Class DE is limited to five years and renewed with a medical check. The practical exam is managed per enrolment; the training record is produced digitally as a PDF with your school letterhead — audit-ready instead of a paper file.
- Time limit visible as class metadata
- Practical exam with date, location and result
- Exam-readiness score as guidance — a recommendation, not a guarantee
