Car and Trailer Towing Lessons Edinburgh
Do you need to tow a trailer for business or leisure? Caravan,
Horsebox, Boat or Plant and Machinery?
If you passed your car driving test after the 1st of January 1997 you
will have been issued a category B driving licence. This licence allows
you to tow a small trailer 750KG behind a car 3500KG. Or a combination
of car and trailer which weighs upto 3500KG provided certain conditions
are met. Many combinations of towing vehicle and trailer exceed these
limits and cannot be driven on a category B driving licence, such as a
caravan, horse box or broken down car.
In order to tow a heavy trailer with a car or van you must sit a
further practical driving test, there is no theory test required. The
BE or B+E driving test follows the same format as the vocational
LGV HGV PCV driving tests. These tests are carried out at
Livingston LGV test centre.
Our patient instructors are fully qualified to provide car and trailer
training.
We have a towing vehicle and trailer which meets the DSA minimum test
vehicle requirements and can provide full training to pass the B+E
driving test.
We also offer reversing courses and advanced towing courses for those
who passed prior to 1997 and already hold B+E but might have never
actually towed a trailer, or simply need guidance.
Please be aware that most candidates who are unsuccessful at the B+E
test fail due to their general forward driving, not the reverse
exercise. The standard of driving required is much higher than that of
the standard learner car test.
