We have a very high pass rate because we teach drivers under our tuition to be highly professional and able drivers, beyond what is expected in commercial driving tests.

The law regarding towing with a trailer changed in 2021.

Previously to tow trailers over a certain weight on your car driving licence you were required, by law to take an additional driving test and obtain the Category B+E on your licence.

There is no longer a requirement to take a driving test to gain a Category B+E licence but you should check your vehicle and trailer weight to see if this is covered under Category B+E

We advise you refer to https://www.gov.uk/towing-with-car and https://www.gov.uk/towing-rules for further information about vehicle and trailers weights and what you are covered for

Despite driving tests no longer being required, many insurance companies advise undertaking ‘Competency Training’ and you yourself may feel better to be taught how to tow a trailer safely including how to couple a trailer and reverse.

Given that everyone’s driving ability and confidence differs, RSM offer tailored B+E Competency Courses to suit. Whether you require an hour or two with a qualified instructor to refresh your knowledge and practical skills or you have never towed before and want to book block session to comprehensively cover all aspects of towing, our team are happy to discuss options with you.

All of our driver towing training is carried out on a one-to-one basis with a registered driving instructor. We can use your vehicle and trailer to train or one of our vehicles.

Our instructors will teach you to be competent, confident and safe to drive on the open road unsupervised with a trailer, concentrating on any areas of concern you may want tuition in.
