Trailer Driving Licence BE: when is it required and what does it cost?

Whether you need a trailer driving licence depends on the maximum authorised mass of the car and trailer together. It is often the vehicle details, not the actual weight at the time, that determine this. Check the combination, review the registration documents and the rules for licence B, B with code 96 and BE. If in doubt, you can have the combination checked before you start a course. What will you learn? The course focuses on hitching up, checks, manoeuvring, reversing and taking part in traffic safely with extra length and weight. Course duration Many candidates take a one-day course, but experience with larger vehicles varies. An intake assessment helps determine whether one day is realistic or whether extra practice would be more sensible. Comparing costs Lesson hours and lesson duration. Use of the car and trailer. CBR exam fees. Any lunch or administration costs. Costs for a retest. Preparation Bring your driving licence, wear suitable shoes and ask in advance which vehicle checks you should be able to explain. Calmness and precision matter more than quick manoeuvres. In short First check whether BE is really necessary, then compare the total price including the exam. A compact course is only good value if the pace suits your experience.
