WHAT ARE THE LAWS FOR TOWING A TRAILER?

CRH Training provide B+E (car or van) trailer training to ensure you meet any duty of care obligations.

Whether for business or private use, CRH have a training course to suit your requirements.

Rules regarding the B+E licence changed in December 2021 and you no longer need to take a test. Please see below for answers on what your licence will allow you to tow.

DO YOU HAVE THE CORRECT LICENCE?

Licences held from 1 January 1997

If you passed your car driving test from 1st January 1997, you're now allowed to tow trailers up to 3,500kg MAM. 

Check your car's handbook to find out its gross train weight (GTW). This is the total allowable weight of the car plus the trailer plus the load.

The DVLA will have already updated you're driving record to show that you're allowed to tow trailers. There is no need to contact them for this to happen. It is done automatically and the category 'BE' will be added to your driving licence when you next apply to get a new licence.

Licences held before 1 January 1997

If you passed your car test before 1 January 1997 you will not be affected by the changes that took place in December 2021.

You're usually allowed to drive a vehicle and trailer combination up to 8,250kg maximum authorised mass (MAM). If you are unsure as to whether or not you can legally tow a trailer, you can check your driving licence with the DVLA directly at the following link: www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence
