Trailer licence

[Shabba168]

Start my 3 day intensive course tomorrow with test on last day.

Anybody done theirs?

I have towed trailers for years on the farm and the yard just changing my ways and driving as the instructor wants.

 :laugh:i'm almost old enough to have got given a license straight after the war  


not really I'm 47 but I knew an old woman that had never been above third gear or in reverse and also never been out of the village and she held a full UK license as they were issued to anyone who had driven straight after the war

history lesson over

I've done mine, I'm 23

It's no problem at all, mine was no where near as hard or picky as a car test. You can already drive, it's the trailer part and etiquette they are looking at most so it's a lot more relaxed than I remember my car test being

Seeing as your already used to driving/reversing with a trailer I would say a 3 day course will be more than enough. I had 2 half days then my test

Best of luck

Passed this today.

It's not as hard as driving test but after driving for 9 years hard to get rid of bad habits.

Did mine in the summer, only had 4 hours of lessons then my test, its much easier than proper driving test as they are just looking at your ability drive safely with a trailer on.

What I dont understand though is that I did my tractor test at the age of 16, which then allowed me to drive a tractor and trailer grossing off at up to 23.94t, but still have to take a test to put a small trailer behind a Land Rover.... methinks there needs to be some re-thinking on the whole licence thing...
