Trailer 'test'? What? Shouldn't I have been pulling a trailer without some other piece of paper? I was sure you didn't need one?

... Anyone shed any light?


If your 35 or older you do not have to take the test - If like me u passed your test after 1997 you have to take a test allowing you to tow a trailer over 750kg (Including the weight of trailer and whats inside) I looked into this as much as possible its a bit of a grey area but VOSA are now cracking down pulling trailers alot more - If you do not have a lisence to tow u can have points and fines depending on if the VOSA man knows his laws -the Lisence you require to tow is B+E

If you want any more info PM me i will help as much as possible

I'm afraid you're partly wrong there.

See here : https://www.gov.uk/towing-with-car/driving...ou-can-tow

You can tow trailer >750 so long as;

- trailer is not heavier than unladen vehicle weight
- total car & trailer weight is not over 3500kg. Cheers, David

ok aslightlywrong but it took me ages to get my head around it - I basically want to tow a car on a trailer or a horse box therefore for me to do this legally i have to take my test plus for the sake of biting the bullet and payin a bit of cash it means im aggro free for the rest of my time driving - I do a bit of racing across the country and when i was speaking to some lads in wales they are frequently getting stopped and a fair few have been done for not having the correct license

Yeah better safe than sorry indeed! I will at some point take the test but i don't tow anything >1T anyway so just when I get round to it.

I plan to take my HGV test too or at least learn, because many people say it teaches you to drive with a completely different style / attitude. Cheers, David

Previous posts were off topic I know, so today I'm changing fuel filter & filter housing on my 110 then trying to bleed the fuel system. Had terrible problems as you may have seen!

*fingers crossed* Cheers, David
