Did you know, that if you intend to tow a Trailer or Caravan over 750kgs, and you passed your Category B (Car) driving test on or after 01 January 1997, then you may need to pass a further driving test to obtain the Category B+E (Car and Trailer) entitlement.

If you passed a car test on or after 1 January 1997 you are only entitled to drive a vehicle in category B, that is a motor vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes maximum authorised mass (MAM). You can only TOW A TRAILER up to 750 kgs MAM.

If you need to pass your Car and Trailer "B+E" test "Teesside LGV Training Ltd" is DSA Registered and one of the leading specialist driver training providers in car and trailer and all LGV categories B+E, C1, C1+E, C C+E.

WARNING: Towing a trailer when you do not have the entitlement WILL INVALIDATE your insurance. This can lead to a prosecution with 9 penalty points on you driving licence and a fine up to £1000.00.

(1 Day courses are 6 hours; Tests are taken the following day)

½ Day = A candidate who has the entitlement on their licence but has not towed before or just needing a refresher in towing or confidence building.

1 Day = A candidate who is recently taken and failed a test.

2 Day = A candidate who has some experience of towing and reversing with a trailer.

3 or 4 Day = A candidate who has never towed before.

Notes:

The above courses are a guide but training required will need to be based on the individual´s driving ability and a driving assessment can be conducted first if requested. Rest breaks and refreshments will be taken as required during the course. Teesside LGV Training Ltd will provide the vehicle and trailer but the students may use their own vehicle if preferred providing it is up to test standard.
