Bkategooria

Bkategooria is a term used in Estonian to denote the second category within a system of classification. It is commonly written with a hyphen as B-kategooria in official texts, but may appear without a hyphen in plain text. The exact meaning of Bkategooria can vary by context, but it generally indicates a standard or intermediate level within a hierarchy.

In the context of driving licenses, Bkategooria denotes the category for ordinary passenger cars. A person holding a B-kategooria license may operate vehicles with a maximum authorised mass not exceeding 3,500 kilograms and designed to carry no more than eight passengers in addition to the driver. The license may also permit towing a trailer, typically up to 750 kilograms, or a heavier trailer if the combined mass of the vehicle and trailer does not exceed 3,500 kilograms, subject to local rules. This category is the standard license for private car use in the European Union.

Outside driving licenses, Bkategooria can denote a second or mid-level category within various hierarchical systems, such as product classifications, competition divisions, or bureaucratic classifications. The specific rights, requirements, and limits associated with B-kategooria depend on the particular framework or organization applying the category.

Related categories include A-kategooria and C-kategooria, which denote higher and lower or different classifications within the same overall system. The term Bkategooria therefore functions as a flexible label used across contexts to indicate a secondary or standard level within a broader categorization scheme.
