B+E Car & Trailer Training

B+E Car / Van and Trailer Towing Practice, Training and Test


Need help to drive a trailer? Take training and sit your DSA driving test to get B+E entitlement and drive up to 3.5 tones gross vehicle weight (GVW) with trailer that is over 750kgs GVW trailer.

The B+E car and trailer training is needed when you wish to drive a car towed with a trailer or a caravan. Towing a vehicle can be a difficult task and to drive around with a towing vehicle needs a lot of expertise and skills. It is not a job of a layman and unless you are well trained in towing, you should not try driving a towing vehicle on the road.

Undergoing a B+E car and trailer training can enable to you learn different methods and procedures of towing a vehicle and also how to drive around with the same on road in various traffic conditions.

Ever since there were changes made in the driving license laws in January 1997, the B+E car and trailer training program and the license test was introduced in the market. Thus it is also imperative to mention that if you have your basic driving license obtained on or before January 1997, you would not need to pass the B+E car and trailer license test. But in case you have obtained your driving license after January 1997, you will have to appear for the B+E car and trailer test for driving a van or a car that is towed with a caravan, a horsebox or a trailer. Just remember that the gross weight of the combination vehicle should not be more than 3500 kg.
