🚛 B+E (Car & Trailer) Training – Is Your Team Truly Competent to Tow?
Since the B+E licence test requirement was removed in 2021, many drivers can legally tow a trailer without ever receiving formal training.
But legal doesn't always mean competent.
At J Coates, we help individuals and businesses develop the skills, confidence, and knowledge needed to tow safely and professionally on today's roads.
Why B+E Training Matters
For Individuals
✅ Improve reversing and manoeuvring skills
✅ Learn safe coupling and uncoupling procedures
✅ Understand trailer weights and load limits
✅ Reduce the risk of accidents and costly damage
✅ Gain confidence towing caravans, horseboxes, boats, and utility trailers
For Businesses
✅ Reduce accidents, downtime, and repair costs
✅ Demonstrate commitment to health & safety
✅ Protect vehicles, trailers, cargo, and third parties
✅ Improve operational efficiency when towing equipment or goods
✅ Provide evidence of driver competence for insurance and compliance purposes
✅ Maintain a professional image on the road
Safety. Compliance. Confidence.
Professional trailer training isn't about passing a test—it's about ensuring drivers understand:
• Load security
• Towing weights and limits
• Trailer safety checks
• Reversing techniques
• Safe driving practices while towing
A 4-hour B+E training session is all it takes to ensure you or your drivers have the knowledge and practical skills to tow safely and confidently.
🚗 🚚 Competence saves lives. Training builds confidence. Safety comes first.
