fumpidge · 2008-12-07 17:34:17

I want to upgrade my license to be able to tow two axle trailers, where is the best place to get lessons? Also what dose the test involve and is it difficult? I gather it involves reversing trailors around corners etc. (which I am cr*p at)

You don't necessarily need an 'EB' licence to tow a two-axle trailer.

It depends on the towing capacity of your vehicle, and the gross vehicle weight of the trailer - i.e. the combination of the two (car and trailer) must not exceed 3500kg to use a 'B' (Car) licence.

i.e. exceed this weight and you do need category 'EB'
look up dept of transport website for more info.

As regards the test, only a few driving schools cater for 'EB' lessons... I know Naas School of Motoring have/had a jeep and trailer for lessons/test. Give them a ring.
