Can I enquire about car lessons here?

Yes. Tell us your location and experience, and we’ll confirm suitable options and availability. If the training list does not describe your needs, choose “Other”.

Do I need a separate test to tow a trailer?

Many full car licence holders already have BE entitlement under current rules in Great Britain. Check your licence and the vehicle’s towing limits. Practical towing training can still be useful.
