I’ve looked into completing my training and test to be able to tow and the soonest I am likely to get to sit my test is September. Is this standard, I know Covid has had a huge impact on centres closing. Or does anyone know of any quieter test centres in the north west? I’m happy to travel a bit further. Just keen to do it ASAP. Thanks

Do you definitely need to do the test as many on here tow with just B car licence?
All depends on what vehicle and trailer you need to use

Thanks both.

I did wonder that ROG but got nervous in case my calculations were wrong and I ended up over weight. I’m planning to rent a trailer before buying one in case I don’t use it all that much and thought that would make it more difficult to work out too. I considered a single trailer for a while but friends have put me off from a stability point of view.

Hundreds use single trailers without any stability issues
Many of those are towing on a B licence with a down plated trailer

I’m in the south east and made enquiries about doing mine after the first lockdown. We’ve obviously been in lockdown again since then but I have heard from the training centre saying they are catching up with the backlog of training/tests and I should be looking at end of July/early August so I would say a couple of months wait is about standard. Good luck!!
