The DSA B+E Test will cost you £105. The Test takes 90 minutes. You will require 2 days training minimum and you can take the test once you have your full category B licence :ie 17 years old.

the test as said above is £105 pounds.

I had previously towed a small trailer for a fair while so was fairly confident with it. took me 2 hours training before the test so including the time i paid for to hire the car and trailer off the instructor it was 4 hours total time.

Remember you can tow a trailer with L plates if you have a person with the relavent license next to you( I think. You'll need to check with the DVLA)

If i'm honest if you can reverse relatively well then the test is a doddle. your driving is not tested it's you ability to drive with a trailer that is.

Nationally the pass rate for this test is less than 43% according to the lastest figures quoted at a DSA consultation event I went to on Tuesday. Get professional advise from a DSA Approved Grade 6 Instructor, it will be cheaper in the long run. Good Luck.

i have my own trailer and been practising for ages, had a whole day with an instructor and did everything perfectly. still managed to fail the test due to my stupid nerves. taking it again next week. total spent after that one will be just over £600!
