WHAT LICENCE DO I NEED TO TOW A CARAVAN?
If you did not pass your driving test BEFORE the 1st January 1997, to tow legally you cannot exceed a combination weight of 3500kg and you will require specific advice based on the weights of the towing vehicle and the caravan. To exceed this limit you must take a separate test to gain entitlement to category B+E. For further information on driving licence categories and what you can drive and tow, please visit gov.uk/driving-licence-categories of download your Free Towing Guide published by the NCC which is packed with technical information and guidance of safe and legal towing.
