The B+E Test is the DVSA practical driving test for car and trailer. No medical examination and no additional theory test is required.

The test is regarded by the DVSA as the first step to driving Large Goods Vehicles and is examined accordingly.

The duration of the test is about an hour and a half. the candidate will need to demonstrate a number of different exercises including a reversing exercise, coupling, uncoupling and a controlled stop. In addition to the trailer manoeuvring exercises the candidate must show the examiner skill and competency on the highway including junctions, lane discipline, mirror & signalling timing, hill starts, angled starts etc. covering a variety of different roads.

During the test you will be asked a number questions called ‘show me, tell me’ (i.e. Show me how you would check that your vehicle & trailer doors are secure) it must be answered either verbally or practically demonstrated.

Successfully passing this test gives the category B+E that allows driver to tow a trailer up to a gross weight (trailer including load) of 3500kg.(3.5 tons). This means a vehicle and trailer with a gross train weight of 7,000kg.(7 tons)
