Are you legal to tow?

Is it worth the risk?

The penalties for towing without a valid licence – 9 points, maximum fine of £5000, possible impounding of vehicle and trailer and you will be invalidating your insurance.

If you passed your driving test on or after the 1st January 1997, you will need to pass a separate test (Licence B+E) to tow a trailer, horse box or caravan weighing over 750kg MAM and where the MAM of the combination of towing vehicles in category B and trailer exceeds 3500kg. There is no minimum age to take the test although you will need a driving licence.

MAM is the Maximum Authorised Mass, also known as the gross vehicle weight. Its the weight of the trailer/ vehicle plus the maximum permitted payload.
