New rules came into force on 16th December regarding towing trailers

All car drivers who have passed their driving test since 1 January 1997 can tow a trailer up to 3,500kg in weight from today (Thursday 16 December) without the need for a test.

DVLA will update driving licence records to reflect the changes. You don’t need to contact DVLA for this - it will be done automatically

The car and trailer category will be added to your photocard driving licence when you apply for a new licence.

More info 👉 http://ow.ly/EV0Z50Gbeko.

Car drivers who passed their test before January 1997 will already have this category on their licence.

DVSA stopped doing car and trailer tests in September, allowing us to increase HGV driving tests to help tackle the lorry driver shortage.

The latest information regarding towing trailers

The process to change the law in Parliament to allow all car drivers to tow a trailer up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass (MAM) has restarted.

The law will not change until later in the year and we’ll let you know when it will be introduced.

Until then, unless they hold a full B+E entitlement, drivers who gained their licence after 1 January 1997 will only be able to tow a trailer weighing up to 3,500kg if they:

✔️ display L plates and
✔️ are supervised by a driver who has had a car and trailer licence entitlement for 3 years or more

When the law changes come into force DVLA will update driving licence records to reflect the changes.

The BE category will be added when a new photocard driving licence is issued. Drivers do not need to contact DVLA for this to happen. It will be done automatically.
