Hi everyone!
We made the mistake of trying to be safer drivers in having a better tow vehicle which takes us over the evil 3.5t MAM......no issue, we can simply do the towing courses and apply for a test! Oh how wrong was I >:(

Searching for courses in the Basingstoke area brings up a small number of links to instructors, most are defunct websites that no longer work or appear to have come from the 80s and look a bit dodgy, and the ones I was able to get in contact with haven't bothered to get back in touch :(

You would think that wasting/spending £600 on government forced legal requirements designed to create jobs would have companies throwing themselves at you, it appears to not be the case!

So I ask the people of this forum, do you know of any towing instruction companies in the Hants area who are interested in finding customers? And would any DSA facility be suitable or are there specialist centres for the B&E licence?

I don't mind doing the test, I just wish there was a simple bloody way of doing it!!!!

P.s Hi! :D

Try googling Lgv Training Hampshire.
Gives at least three results. 2Start at Bishops Waltham quote £460 for a caravan course. Roadwise in Portsmouth advertise a 3 day course for £225. Trailer Training at Winchester also advertise courses .
Hope this helps.

Find a company that accept credit cards.

Bit of protection if the go bump detween lessons and the test.

But i guess demand is fairly low to have hoards of companies springing up.

Plenty of options that come within the B category where no test is required.

Car approx 1500kg and a caravan at 85% of that is well within the limits.
