Cathryn Andrews Towing Training Review
Towing with a car – the law
The law around towing with a car, van or pickup is changing.
The government has announced that to help tackle the shortage of HGV drivers they will abolish the car and trailer test this autumn, freeing up more tests for lorry drivers.
This means that you will no longer need to take an additional test to tow a trailer.
Although there is no date for the law to change yet, they have announced that they will not conduct any more car and trailer (B+E) tests from 20th September.
