For drivers wishing to achieve a trailer licence and are located in Essex or the surrounding towns and cities.

Get Towing provides trailer training services which will improve your trailer or caravan towing techniques and help you master the art of reversing a vehicle while hitched to a trailer.

Towing a trailer or caravan requires advanced driving skills, as your vehicle will drive differently when hitched to a trailer. The way you drive will be affected by the size and weight of the trailer and weather conditions particularly high winds, icy or wet roads.

At Get Towing we will train you to drive with confidence and hopefully pass the trailer test

While towing a trailer or caravan, we must  take into account wider turning circles, increased braking and reversing techniques.

If you passed your test before 1997 you’re generally entitled to drive a vehicle and trailer combination up to 8.25 tonnes maximum authorised mass (M.A.M.)

If you passed your test later than the 1st January 1997 you’re limited to vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes M.A.M. towing a trailer up to 750 kgs, or a vehicle and trailer combination up to 3.5 tonnes M.A.M. providing the M.A.M. of the trailer doesn’t exceed the unladen mass of the towing vehicle. You will need to pass an additional driving test in B+E if you wish to tow a caravan or trailer combination which exceeds these weight limits.

To tow a caravan, horse-box boat or other trailer over a certain weight you will need to add category E to your car license B. This means another driving test B+E with a laden trailer. If you passed your test before 1997 you will have category B+E on your license for anyone else have a look on the
