The B+E test is officially a car test, but is carried out at a LGV (HGV) test centre by LGV examiners authorised by the Driving Standard Agency (DSA). The test follows the same Vocational test format as an articulated LGV (HGV) test.(C+E)
The B+E test was first introduced after changes made to the driving licence laws which came into effect on 1st January 1997.
If you passed after this date in order to drive a van towing a trailer with a gross train weight exceeding 3500Kgs you are required by law to hold a B+E tlicence. (normally towing a trailer weighing over 750Kgs gross weight would require a B+E test). Confused?? Just give us a call on 0116 287 7692 we are happy to explain and answer any questions you have.
Many of our customers already hold the B+E licence category, but want to learn to handle and reverse a trailer correctly, which we can tailor to suit your needs. This training course has been highly praised by all who have taken it.
