Hi all,
We are new to caravanning and are considering whether both myself and my husband need to take the B+E test.
As we both passed after 1997, neither of us can legalling tow anything but the tiniest of caravans due to the kerb weight of our tow car so need to add the B+E to our licence.
I'm just wondering how many couples are both able to tow? In 99.9% of circumstances it will be my husband towing the caravan - the only reason for me to take the test is as an "insurance policy" incase he was unable to get us home for any reason, such as an injury.
I was advised I could tow on L Plates if my husband passed his B+E but I believe this is only correct after he's held the B+E test for 3+ years.
