B+E Towing Trailers and Caravans With Vehicles

The car and trailer practical driving test applies to all car licences obtained on or after 01 January 1997. If you acquired your licence before this date you will have grandfather rights.

The car and trailer test (B+E) is based on the lorry driving test and lasts for approximately one hour. Please note that B +E tests are conducted at vocational (bus and lorry) driving test centres.

The towing test includes vehicle safety questions, an off road reverse manoeuvre, a controlled stop, uncoupling and coupling of the trailer or caravan and driving on the road.

You will be asked to carry out a basic vehicle safety check and you will be asked five questions which will be a combination of show me and tell me.

Please contact the office for further information on this course and to check availability and prices.
