SUPERVISING A B+E LEARNER

In April 2010 new rules were introduced for those supervising certain learner drivers but they only affected those supervising VOCATIONAL categories such as C1 C1+E D1 & D1+E where the supervising driver had those categories given to them for free when they passed a pre 1997 car test.

They do not affect those with a pre 1997 B+E licence who wish to supervise a B+E learner

I'm still confused mate ? If the caravan is under 750 is it alright to tow?

On the caravan usually near the door is the weight plate and that will show the MTPLM weight which is the MAM weight in the same way that the weight plate on the vehicle shows the GVW which is the MAM weight

 

As the vehicle MAM is over 2750 kg then the max MAM for the caravan or trailer is 750 kg for B towing

 

Plated weights are used for licencing not actual weights

As you have C1+E that means you also must have B+E so yes you can supervise a B+E learner subject to the usual rules for learner and supervisor

So if tge vehicle towing had a max weight of 2.5 tonne and the caravan mam was 1 tonne that would be okay?

If the vehicle had a plated GVW of 2500 kg and the caravan had a plated MTPLM of 1000 then yes it would be legal for a B licence
