    Towbar electrics and the MOT

    Same questions really, why do you have this fitted and does your car have 24V electrics? Basically, I think they'll be limiting the test to one of the two standard connectors (either 12N or the newer 13pin jobbie) and simply ignoring any other connector(s) at the back of the car. It might be...

    B + E Trailer Test

    If you have a pre 1997 licence then you'll either be provisional B, or full B (normal car bit). If you pass B, you get B+E too as a full entitlement. So its a non-issue. To put it another way, if you hold a provisional car licence (B), you're not allowed on a motorway. If you hold a full car...
