EasyPass Trailer Training

Our trailer towing courses cover all aspects of trailer towing, including relevant towing law, hitching and unhitching, loading, Stability, reversing and safe handling of trailers and caravans.

A note about licences held from 1st January 1997:

If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997 and have an ordinary Category B (car licence), you can:

• Drive a vehicle up to 3,500kg MAM towing a trailer of up to 750kg MAM.
• Tow a trailer over 750kg MAM as long as the combined MAM of the trailer and towing vehicle is no more than 3,500 kg.

This means that you cannot legally tow trailers such as: horse boxes, caravans or large trailers unless you pass the car trailer test (Category B + E).
If you have been disqualified from driving and passed a test since 1st January 1997, you will have lost your entitlement to tow and you will have to pass a separate car and trailer test.

Please note: Towing a trailer when you do not have the entitlement will invalidate your insurance. This can lead to prosecution with a fine and/or penalty points on your driving licence.
