Car and Trailer, Towing, Horsebox Driver TrainingIf you have never towed before, need to pass a test, or run a commercial fleet of trailers you should be looking for a professional course for every driver. If you're looking to tow a caravan, trailer, machinery or plant, boats or horse box we can provide all the neccessary training.
If you passed your car driving test after January 1997, you now need to pass a separate test (licence category B + E) for towing a trailer or caravan weighing over 750kg M.A.M. (Maximum Authorised Mass). Most horse boxes, cattle trailers and caravans weigh this much unladen. If you are unsure whether you need to upgrade your licence, please ring us on 01204 525454 and we will advise you. The Trailer Towing Test (B + E) is based on the LGV driving test and includes all aspects of towing trailers as well as general on road techniques. In preparation for the test, our courses cover off-road manoeuvring and reversing, a controlled stop, hitching and un-hitching, the theory of loading and un-loading and also securing the load. Our trailer training also includes an on-road assessment to cover the allowances required above and beyond your standard road driving techniques. The braking, reversing and uncoupling/recoupling exercises will always be undertaken within our training site, away from the public highway. This enables you to develop at your own pace and away from the pressures of on-road instruction.
