Trailer Handling

Anyone who passed their driving test after January 1997 will find that towing heavy trailers is not a standard category covered on their licence and an additional test will need to be taken to entitle them to drive a vehicle with a trailer.

This course is not a replacement for the DSA Trailer Test, but is designed to assist trainees to gain confidence and improve skills by understanding the basic towing principles and applying them to individual circumstances.

It is also aimed to satisfy the legal requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act, by providing adequate training for operators using trailers as part of their work.
