Jeep & Trailer Lessons
If you wish to tow a trailer that has a weight in excess of 750kg, you are required by law to hold a BE licence. A standard Category B driving licence only permits drivers to tow trailers up to 750kg, so if you are planning to tow heavier loads, obtaining a BE licence is essential. This qualification allows drivers to safely and legally tow larger trailers and is particularly important for anyone transporting equipment, machinery, livestock, or recreational vehicles.
A BE licence is not only beneficial for those driving in a commercial capacity, but also for private drivers who regularly tow heavy trailers. This includes members of the equine community transporting horse boxes, tradespeople towing work equipment, farmers moving agricultural machinery, and individuals towing caravans, boats, or utility trailers. Holding the correct licence ensures that drivers understand the additional responsibilities involved in towing heavier loads, including braking distances, vehicle control, weight distribution, reversing manoeuvres, and overall road safety.
At Preferential Safety, we provide professional BE licence training designed to help drivers gain the confidence, practical ability, and technical knowledge required to tow safely and effectively. Our experienced instructors deliver structured lessons that cover all aspects of towing, from coupling and uncoupling procedures to reversing exercises, road positioning, and safe manoeuvring in a variety of driving conditions.
