Towing

[RubysGold]

I know this has been done to the death, but I was going to google it and couldn't think of how to word it in a search engine!!

So, I know, that having past my test after 97, I cant legally tow my trailer.

what Id like to know, is can I tow it with L stickers on, with a horse in it, if my mum or dad are sat next to me?

Neither have taken their trailer tests but both can legally tow due to passing before 97.

So could I tow with them??

Yes.

SUPERVISING A B+E LEARNER

In April 2010 new rules were introduced for those supervising certain learner drivers but they only affected those supervising VOCATIONAL categories such as C1 C1+E D1 & D1+E where the supervising driver had those categories given to them for free when they passed a pre 1997 car test.
They do not affect those with a pre 1997 B+E licence who wish to supervise a B+E learner.

All B licence holders have B+E provisional on the paper part of their licence and can tow an empty or loaded trailer on all roads including motorways.

The usual rules apply when a learner is driving -
The supervising driver must be aged over 21
The supervising driver must have held a B+E licence for at least 3 years
L plates must be fitted to the front of the vehicle and the rear of the trailer
Correct insurance for a B+E learner

With one horse and the right vehicle and trailer you could tow alone on your B licence

The extra rule for towing a trailer over 750 kgs MAM on a B licence is....
The vehicle GVW added to the trailer MAM must not total more than 3500 kgs

GVW and MAM mean the same thing - the maximum something can legally weigh if fully loaded
