Towing A Caravan Training
If so you are required by law to take another the B+E car and trailer test in order to tow trailers where the gross weight of the vehicle and trailer is above 3500Kg (without trailer) and 4250Kg (inclusive of trailer).
A driver without a B+E licence can tow a trailer, if the combination of the vehicle and trailer is less than 3500kg and gross weight of the trailer is less than the un-laden weight of the towing vehicle. A driver who has passed their test after 1997 can tow a trailer with a gross weight of around 1.5 tons, as long as the towing vehicle and trailer are closely matched. If the conditions aren't met exactly it can result in the driver being unlicensed and uninsured which could carry a maximum of 9 penalty points and a fine of up to £1000, and in some cases maybe even a ban. Also if you were to be involved in an accident, as you are legally uninsured, you could find yourself in serious trouble.
Legalities aside, we strongly recommend these courses for your own peace of mind, even if you have a pre-1997 driving license. Towing a trailer of any description is very different to just driving a standard vehicle and there are more considerations that you need to be aware of. At Fleet CSR we believe that safety is paramount and anything that can be done to improve this is of utmost important.
Our trailer towing training courses are designed to give you the confidence and extra skills required to tow any type of trailer safely.
All of Fleet CSR instructors have been trained "In-House". Fleet CSR expect a very high standard from their instructors and this way we know the service that they will provide will be professional, courteous, friendly and above all, Value for Money.
Your instructor will teach you the correct and safe way to drive, not only to pass your B+E test, but, more importantly, to be able to cope with todays ever more demanding and sometimes stressful situations.
