WELCOME TO TRAILER TOWING TRAINING

Wales Leading Training Provider for B+E (Car andTrailer) Test

Trailer Towing Training  is one of the few local Pembrokeshire based training providers that totally specialises in  all types of trailer towing training. Trailer Towing Training  is Lantra Awards 4X4 Professional off road driving professional, with DSA approved driving instructors and member of driving instructors association (DIA). Our establishment provides trailer-towing training for the B+E car and trailer test,trailer handling and awareness courses, and for those who already have the entitlement but have little or no experience of towing trailers/caravans/horse boxes/boat trailers.Individual or group training available and courses are structured to suit your individual needs.

Why do you need to take B+E test?

If you passed your test after the 1st January 1997 and the maximum authorised mass (MAM - maximum potential weight of the trailer and its contents as shown in the manufacturers book or plate) of the trailer is under 750kg then the answer is no.

If however the MAM of the trailer is over 750kg you need to take the test if the following combinations apply: Either the combined MAM of the car and trailer exceeds 3500kg (3.5 tonnes) or the MAM of the trailer is greater than the unladen weight of the towing vehicle, then the answer is yes.

If you are not sure then dont hesitate to contact us because if you do not have the entitlement then your insurance will be invalid.If you do not have the entitlement and are towing large trailers and are prosecuted the penalty is 9 points on your licence and up to a £1000 fine. If you have been banned from driving you will have lost your entitlement.

We  provide:

  • 1 day, B+E course, which consists of  1x3  1/2 hours with test in afternoon, for those who have recently failed a B+E test
  • 2 days, B+E course, which consists of 1x7hours with meal break and 1x3 ½ hours test PM. (If you have some experience of towing and reversing trailers then this course is usually sufficient)
  • 1-2-1 tuition or two students together (but never more than two except if not taking the B+E test), The first training day (7 Hrs including refreshment break) could be split up into two 3 hour sessions on a 1-2-1 basis then a 3 1/2 hour session and test in the afternoon.
  • For drivers who have little or no experience of towing or trailer reversing, a 3- 4 day course is advisable and their test  will be conducted in the afternoon of the last day.

An assessment, covering off road manouvres and on road driving is available to give you an honest assessment of how much training you will need and what areas you will need to work on to reach test standard.You will then have a choice, practice with your own vehicle and trailer and return for further assessment when ready or carry out the full training with us by the hour to suit your budget and timescale
