Car Drivers Allowed To Tow Heavier Trailers

By Charlotte Parr •Posted on: 15th September 2021 (Last updated 3 hours ago)

Government has announced that all car drivers will be able to tow a trailer weighing up to 3,500kg without the need for an additional test (B+E) regardless of when they took their test. This will take effect when the law is changed later this year.

If you passed your car driving test from 1 January 1997, you’ll be allowed to tow trailers up to 3,500kg MAM.

Drivers will get category BE added to their driving licence when they get a new photocard driving licence – this will be done automatically. The date the law will change has not yet been confirmed but it is expected to be very soon.

Great choice of new and used vans, with no pushy sales at all. The whole service team are great and PC&M should be proud to have such a great team. I can’t wait to get out on the road in my new-to-me van. I won’t hesitate to return to PC&M when I’m ready to upgrade or need any accessories or spares.

Great service from April and Dave, modern clean van that made our holiday a dream thank you.

Fantastic service from start to finish, got a brilliant deal on our Swift Basecamp 2. Had the most wonderful and friendly member of sales staff, Tony who handled everything. Pick up and handover was so thorough, and all questions answered by Ryan with some immediate sorts by Paul. When the mirrors on the welcome pack weren't correct Gill from the shop came out with lots of different ones and was so helpful. We honestly can't recommend enough.

I spoke to Katie on the phone who advised me on a suitable awning for a seasonal pitch. She was so helpful and put aside one of my choice until I could call up and collect at the weekend. On arrival I was shown a display model by Gill, who again was very attentive. Awning payed for and collected. Now to put it up at my caravan. Preston Caravans are amazing. I have nothing but admiration for them, and will certainly use them again.

Well, what can I say but from start to finish we had a seamless, professional service. Every member of staff went above and beyond when buying our brand new Sprite Elegance Grande 835 nothing was too much trouble and everyone took their time with you. Would like to mention Chris, Ryan, Gill, Katy, Lisa and Dan it was a pleasure to meet you all. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.
