Hi all

Where abouts are you in the county?

Not sure about the test, my mate did the test itself down Ross way I think, but there are a couple of guys I know out by Tenbury who do the training, both good.

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.

All B licence holders have B+E provisional on the paper part of their licence and can tow an empty or loaded trailer on all roads including motorways.

The usual rules apply when a learner is driving -

The supervising driver must be aged over 21

The supervising driver must have held a B+E licence for at least 3 years

L plates must be fitted to the front of the vehicle and the rear of the trailer

Correct insurance for a B+E learner

 

Many will find that passing the once in a lifetime B+E test is their best option so here is some info on that test:-

 

The B+E test

No medical or theory test required

Read a number plate from a certain distance

The next three can be in any order:-

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW7DHqcO9Sg&feature=related]VIDEO - Reversing Exercise (old measurements)[/ame] - done in test centre grounds if test conducted from practical test centre - some tests are now being done from training school grounds

One hour road drive - includes the independent drive and is done virtually the same as the basic car test

 

DISCLAIMER - I have no connection to any companies which may be featured in those videos

 

This is interesting – a B licence towing set up can be presented for the B+E test but L plates must be used for the test. So you can train yourself, go to test by yourself, fit L plates, do the test, then, pass or fail, remove L plates and drive away by yourself.

NOT RECOMMENDED THOUGH !!
