Trailer licence: those wanting to tow a caravan. Useful advice from the RAC.
There is no such thing as a 'trailer licence' per se but dependent on the weight of the load you are towing you might need to take an additional category driving test.
From 19 January 2013 drivers passing a category B (car and small vehicle) test can tow:
Small trailers weighing no more than 750kg
A trailer over 750kg as long as the combined weight of the trailer and towing vehicle is no more than 3,500kg Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM)
If you want to tow a trailer weighing more than 750kg, when the combined weight of the towing vehicle and trailer is more than 3,500kg, you’ll have to get B+E entitlement on your licence.
If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997 and have an ordinary category B (car) licence, you can:
Drive a vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes or 3,500kg MAM towing a trailer of up to 750kg MAM
Tow a trailer over 750kg MAM as long as the combined weight of the trailer and towing vehicle is no more than 3,500kg
For anything heavier you need to take a category B+E driving test.
If you passed your driving test before 1 January 1997 you’re generally allowed to drive a vehicle and trailer combination up to 8.25 tonnes MAM, but you should double check here what your licence allows you to tow.
Caravanning Tip from the RAC website, we thought you may find it useful if it is your first time preparing to go on your staycation towing a caravan.
