The DSA's B + E Trailer Towing Test
The test comprises:
- Eyesight test and some "Show me - Tell me" safety questions
- Reverse manoeuvre from one bay, across the manoeuvring area and into another bay
- Controlled braking exercise
- Uncoupling / re-coupling exercise
- Drive of about one hour
The exercises are undertaken at the test centre, and the test conducted from there. The standard of driving required is in line with that for the LGV driving test, on which the B + E test is based. You will be expected to demonstrate and apply good anticipation and situational awareness, and progressive, yet defensive driving techniques. You will need a sound knowledge of the correct, safe routines for the uncoupling / recoupling exercise. The test centre for central, north and north east Lincolnshire, including Lincoln, Louth and the surrounding area is located at the LGV Test Centre in Grimsby.
Do not underestimate the standard of driving required to pass!
