Also worth noting, a fine is not the worst case scenario here. If you are involved in an accident with the 750kg+ trailer/caravan attached to your vehicle your insurance will also not pay out your claims since you are not licensed to be towing that weight. Could potentially cost you hundreds of thousands!
School driving lessons/subject won’t work because the past rate is only 30%, at least at license department it is 80-90% 😂 But yes I agree, should be a skill taught to everyone and schools would be a great place
Hi Mic thanks for the video, sad part is you have to redo your leaners as well as the license i have been told at the licensing department to get an EB and there NO difference in the test written and driving for the B to EB
there is a difference, to do an EB licence, you do the HMV test (alley docking from the right, the left turn and straight reverse, as well as the code B parallel parking, you have to detach and attach the trailer before and after the parallel) The Trailer can be unloaded, but has to have a GMV of >750 kg ie. 751kg and above. and no, I have been asked before, you DO NOT lose your originally obtained license if you fail the EB test.
@@shaunmatthews6889 The person you are replying to is referring to there being no difference in the written test (Learners). It's the same test for B and EB (Code 2 learners).
I must say, I don’t know about the limitation of my code 8 license until I bought a camping trailer and realised that I would need to upgrade because I can’t tow a trailer larger than 750kg with it. They must scrap code 8. My car barely qualifies for it as well (Discovery 4).
I have an EB, got my K52 in Jan 1980, and that was converted to EB in Worcester when the time came. They asked if I towed and I confirmed. We were given road use & safety training between 1968 and 1979 at school. I passed my K53 in 1992 with 98%.
