Car and Trailer Training Leeds

Pass your Car and Trailer Driving Licence with Truck Training Leeds.

Do you need to tow a trailer for business or leisure? It could be either towing a Caravan, a Horsebox or a Boat or Plant and Machinery for work.

 If you passed your car driving test after the 1st of January 1997 you will have been issued a category B driving licence. This licence allows you to tow a small trailer 750KG behind a car 3500KG. Or a combination of car and trailer which weighs up to 3500KG provided certain conditions are met. However, many combinations of towing vehicle and trailer exceed these limits and cannot be driven on a standard category B driving licence.  A Cat B and E Licence needs to be held for towing such things as caravans, horse box or even a broken down car.

You are also required to obtain a further practical driving test qualification to enable you to tow a heavy trailer with a car or van.  There is no theory test required. The B+E driving test follows the same format as the vocational LGV /  HGV / PCV driving tests. These tests are carried out at our test centres.

 We have our own towing vehicle and trailer for you to complete your training in.  Our vehicles meet the DSA minimum test vehicle requirements and can be used to provide full training to pass the B+E driving test.  Our patient instructors are fully qualified to provide car and trailer training.

We also offer reversing courses and advanced towing courses for those who passed their driving test prior to 1997 and already hold B+E but have never actually towed a trailer.
