About this requirement

In Great Britain, the minimum legal age to hold a category BE driving licence (car and heavy trailer combination) is 17 years old. This licence allows driving a vehicle up to 3,500kg MAM with a trailer, subject to combined MAM limits and passing appropriate tests. Different rules apply for licences obtained before 1997 or 2013, and towing heavier trailers requires category C1+E entitlement.
