Firstly an introduction to the car and trailer B+E test.

B+E is the Driving Standards Agency practical driving test for car and trailer. No medical examination or additional theory test is required. The test is regarded by the DSA as the first steps leading to driving Large Goods Vehicles and is examined seriously. The duration of the test is about an hour and a half.

This driving test is made up of a number of different exercises including:

Reversing exercise

Uncoupling, trailer inspection, re-coupling

Controlled stop.

In addition to the trailer manoeuvring exercises mentioned above the candidate must show the examiner normal driving skills and competency on the highway including junctions, roundabouts, lane control, mirror routines, hill starts, angled starts etc.

During the test you will be asked a number of preset questions called ‘show me, tell me’ which must be answered either verbally or practically demonstrated.

Pass Success!

Successfully passing this test allows a driver to drive a gross weight vehicle of 3500kg and tow a trailer up to a gross weight (trailer plus load) of 3500kg.(3.5 tons)

This means a vehicle and trailer can have a gross train weight of 7,500kg. (7.5 tons)
