Westend School of Motoring

At WESTEND TRAILER TRAINING we strive to achieve a high level of service for all our drivers and students from Dumfries, Lockerbie and surrounding areas.

COURSES

All our courses are tailored to your requirements. To tow a trailer, caravan, boat, horse box etc. over a certain weight, you will need to add Category E to your car licence (Cat B). This means passing another driving test with a trailer before you can go on the road.

All courses will include the test fee of £115.00

Current B+E Holder

If you already hold Cat B+E and don't need to take the test, but are new to towing, it makes sense to learn how to tow safely. It can be easy to get it wrong, leading to vehicle damage or personal injury while handling, or a serious accident on the road.

Choose how many days you need based on your experience. 3 days should be enough for most people to become competent at handling and manoeuvring a trailer. Costs as the other options.

Notes: Additional training days are available . The DSA test fee is currently £115. Taking a test include the use of our vehicle and trailer for both the training and the test itself.
