B+E
Who needs this course? Why take this Training? Driving Licence regulations changed in 1997. Until then once you had passed your car driving licence you could legally tow a trailer, horsebox or caravan irrespective of size or weight. Therefore drivers under 30 years old and anyone who passed their driving test in the past 12 years will be limited to a maximum towing weight of 750Kgs; this includes the weight of the trailer and the load upon it.
You must have a B+E licence to tow a trailer, caravan or horsebox above this weight, to name but a few. (The maximum gross weight of 750kg must be on the trailer plate)
Many of our customers already have the entitlement to drive trailers (B+E) so don't need to take a further test, but come to us to develop the skills and gain the confidence to tow before they take their own trailers caravans or horse trailers on the road.
Call us to review your current licence restrictions and arrange to upgrade your licence.
