If you passed your driving test after the 1st January 1997 (including re-tests) you must pass a practical category B+E test to tow a trailer which exceeds 750kg on a vehicle weighing 3,500kg; or vehicle and trailer/caravan/horsebox combination over 3,500kg.

Typically, farmers, horse riders, road engineers, landscapers and caravan enthusiasts will be looking to add the category B+E to their licence.

Further information on what you can tow and date of legislation changes can be found on the Trailer Rules page
