In Great Britain, if you're towing a trailer or caravan, specific lower speed limits apply. You are restricted to 50 mph on single carriageways and 60 mph on dual carriageways and motorways, even if the general limit is higher. The 30 mph limit in built-up areas still applies.
Extended-arm side mirrors are often needed when towing a large caravan or trailer to ensure you have a clear view of the road behind and down both sides of your towed load. This is a legal requirement if your ordinary mirrors do not provide adequate rearward vision, as stated in the Highway Code.
To ensure safety and stability, heavy items should be placed directly over the axle(s) of the trailer, and the overall weight should be distributed evenly. You must also ensure that the noseweight (downward force on the tow ball) is within the vehicle manufacturer's recommended limits to minimise the risk of snaking or loss of control.
If you passed your car driving test on or after 1 January 1997, there are restrictions on the weight of trailer you can tow with your standard car licence (Category B). You should always check the GOV.UK guidelines or your vehicle handbook to ensure you are licenced for the specific weight combination.
Before towing, you must ensure both your vehicle and the trailer are in a roadworthy condition. This includes checking that all tyres are legal and correctly inflated, the trailer's braking system is working, all trailer lights are functioning, and the load is secure and within weight limits, as per the Highway Code Rule 98.
By completing Towing & Trailer Rules, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Great Britain. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
