DID YOU KNOW!

If you passed your car test (Class 'B') after 1st January 1997 you are required to pass an additional driving test if you wish to tow a trailer over 750kg MAM.

B+E Training (Car and Trailer)

We can now offer B+E Training using our own car and trailer or alternatively you can supply your own vehicle and trailer.

Our excellent off-road training facilities in Exeter allows us to reflect that which is conducted at the Driver Standards Agency test.  You can practise the reversing, braking, uncoupling-coupling exercises.

Our training centre is situated at Marsh Barton, which is just a few blocks away from the DSA B+E (car / van and trailer) test centre. This allows you to maximise your training time by utilising the test routes as soon as you leave the training area.

One of our experienced and skilled instructors will progressively assess and train you by building confidence and will support you right down to taking you to the test centre.
