Trailer Towing Training
The Test
The B+E Test is based on the LGV driving test and lasts approximately one hour and is conducted from the new Haverfordwest (Withybush) Test Facility.It will include a wide variety of roads and traffic conditions.Make sure that you have your full driving licence (both parts ie. card and paper version) with provisional B+E entitlement with you and that you have signed it.
The test consists of the following requirements:
- The ability to carry out safety checks on vehicle and trailer
- The Reversing Exercise (snake reverse into a bay)
- The Braking Exercise
- The Drive (approximately 80% of test)
- Uncoupling and coupling
Our courses will comprehensively cover the syllabus of the test to enable you, with endevour, to pass. Most candidates fail on the driving part of the test in which you will be expected to drive to a standard at least that of the driving test for category B. Unfortunately most people fall into bad habits after passing their driving test which is why we only use DSA approved driving instructors to get you back up to test standard..Your test will be booked for you and costs £115 *Note:4 clear working days notice required on event of cancellation
Can I use my own vehicle/trailer?
Yes but make sure vehicle is fully covered by insurance to cover a learner driver and instructor/examiner
- is legally roadworthy and has a current MOT if over 3 years old
- properly licensed with a valid tax disc
- displaying L or D plates to front of vehicle and rear of trailer
- vehicle must be fitted with adequate mirrors so that the examiner can see clearly down both sides of the vehicle
Make sure that the trailer you intend to tow is
- legally roadworthy
- is at least 1 tonne Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM)
Note: If you overlook any of these your test will be cancelled and you will lose your fee
If you wish to use your own vehicle/trailer bearing in mind the above dont hesitate to contact us. If however you want peace of mind why not use out training vehicle, the Land Rover and Ifor Williams box trailer which both fully satisfy the requirements for the test
