Car and Trailer Lessons (Cat B + E)

The Car and trailer test (B+E) is based on the lorry driving test, it is conducted at the LGV Test Centre and lasts for approximately 1 to 1½ hours.

Please note as the B+E tests are conducted at LGV Test centre the B+E test is considered a vocational licence upgrade, this is the same location you would be required to take a (bus or lorry) driving test, and you will be required to drive at a much higher standard than that of your learner test.

The Towing Test (B+E) includes:

• vehicle safety questions
• an off-road reverse manoeuvre
• a controlled stop
• an uncoupling and coupling of the trailer and
• driving on the road
• uphill/downhill start

Vehicle Safety Questions
As part of your B+E Car and Trailer Test you will be asked several vehicle safety questions. These vehicle safety questions are based on basic safety checks that you should carry out to ensure the vehicle is safe before each use.

You will be asked five questions in total, and they will be a combination of ‘show me’ and ‘tell me’ questions. A driving fault will be recorded for each incorrect answer to a maximum of four driving faults. If you answer all five questions incorrectly, a serious fault will be recorded.
