at what age can you drive a trailer?

[only_me]

I am 18 and passed my driving test last august so at the moment i have R plates up (in norn iron when you pass your test you become a "restricted" driver for a year and the max speed you can do is 45mph)
but is it possible to take my trailer test when i am 18? one friend says i can, but another says i cant until im 21?

help please!

Have a look at this page - if you can understand it then you are a better person than I

It depends on the weight of your towing vehicle and your laden trailer - so as long as your towing vehicle is under 3500kg and you are not towing elephants, you are okay aged 18.

ohh good, i *think* i understand

lol

if i have a category B test (which is a normal driving licence) then i can take the trailer test when i am 17+

i think you could take it, you can take your trailer test as soon as you have a B liscence, dont know if its differet in NI though
