No car trailer test needed from Nov 15th.

Most young drivers will steady up a bit with experience. It won't help with reversing a trailer but will help with vehicle control

Don't think 2 years though. Doesn't insurance come down about 25

…and stability control, abs and disc brakes. At least with the heavier towing vehicles today they are nearly as heavy as the trailer even when you’re maxed out at 3500 kg. All these people who automatically got their cat E pre 1997 were probably let loose with 88” Land Rovers that probably scraped a tonne with a 3.5 tonne trailer, drum brakes that weren’t very effective even without a trailer and definitely no driving aids such as abs etc. yet somehow they think they were safer then than in modern vehicles now.

Good point!
My Land rover still has rear drum brakes and no ABS or EBD. Wish it did some times!
