New rules will soon apply for car-and-trailer Driving Tests.

If you want to take a Test to drive a car+trailer (Category B+E), from November 2013 onwards, the trailer will have to carry a "real weight", rather than just an empty trailer.

This will produce a much more realistic drive, as most people would only tow a trailer if they are going to load it with something, rather than just towing it empty. A fully loaded trailer can increase acceleration and braking times significantly, especially when carrying livestock or other delicate items that cannot afford to be "thrown around" the trailer. As a result, the driver would need to be looking much, much further along the road to allow more time to complete any task.

    I have been an Instructor since 2007. The job has so many great points, it's hard to know where to start. Here's just two... When a Pupil suddenly "gets it", and all the "confusion" is transferred into "understanding"   and   The moment that each Pupil realizes that the Examiner has confirmed that they ARE safe enough to drive by themselves, in other words: "You've PASSED!"
