Anyone taken the B+E test?

[General Banter]

Booking myself a B+E test next month so I can get myself a bigger trailer, I could do with someone who's done (and passed!) it to let me know what I'm tested on and what they're looking for. I can tow well enough but I know I've got some bad habits


Cheers in advance

Ive done the test , its easy , gotta reverse through a chicane, emergency stop, hitch and unhitch the trailer, get asked stupid saftey and maintenance questions the go on the road and drive round.
Remember over check your mirrors, dont cross hands on the steering wheel and get the examiner to help check the lights when u hitched the trailer and say if its not a fixed number plate on the trailer to attach the plate and check its secure

best thing is to just take your time and dont rush, as mentioned overcheck your mirrors, half of driving big vehicle's/towing trasilers forward is to be looking at whats going on behind you, remember the speed limit for towing, mind kerb's if its anything like hgv hopping them is a straight fail

good luck though

Got mine on Saturday. Had a lesson yesterday, theres a pretty big list of checks you need to perform when coupling and uncoupling. Things must be done in a certain order too. I will post the list in a second, but its defo worth having a couple of hours lesson.
