TRAILER/ CARAVAN LESSONS    back button


Learn how to manoeuvre your trailer, caravan or horse box with confidence. We can prepare you for the B+E trailer test or simply tailor your training to meet your personal requirements.

All drivers who passed a car driving test before 1 January 1997 are already entitled to drive a vehicle and trailer combination of up to 8.25 tonnes. If you passed after this date, you can legally drive a combination of up to 4.25 tonnes but only if the maximum authorised weight (laden weight) of the trailer is up to 750kgs. If the trailer weighs more than 750kgs when laden, the combined weight must not exceed 3.5 tonnes and the trailer's MAM must be less than the unladen weight of the vehicle.

To drive heavier combinations, you must pass a further B+E test where you will be assessed on your ability to drive with, reverse, hitch and unhitch a trailer.

Trailer lessons with us take place using your own car and trailer/caravan/horsebox. Our trainer is a qualified HGV driver as well as being a driving instructor.
