Cat B+E (2 Lessons + Test Day)

If you passed your driving test after 1st January 1997 you may have to take a B+E driving test. (Car and trailer). 

Drivers who have passed their test after January 1997 will not have the full category B+E on their licence. Without this category you will be restricted in the type of trailer you can tow.  Category B+E allows you to tow trailers up to 3500kg provided that you do not exceed the towing vehicles limit.  Refer to the manufacturer’s handbook and identification plates for the MAM (maximum authorised mass) and towing capabilities.  Without taking a test you can only tow a trailer of 750kgs.

Drivers who hold a category B licence can provisionally tow trailers up to 3500kg provided they display L plates and are accompanied by a qualified driver in that category.

All our training is conducted on a 1:1 instructor to pupil ratio, with courses tailored to suit your needs. We train from 8am to 4pm Monday to Friday and also evening and weekends when requested.  We have our own Volkswagen Golf estate Tdi diesel with 5 speed manual gearbox towing an indespension twin axle box trailer with an overall length of 8.4 metres. This is ideal for driver training and meets all the requirements for the DSA for test purposes. Please call TIR for information or take advantage of a two hour driving assessment to find out your training requirements.
