Driving licence code A permits you to drive motorbikes with a power output in excess of 35kW or motor tricycles with a power output of more than 15kW. If a Category A is shown, this means you can also ride motorcycles and tricycles described in Category A1 and Category A2.
The two most common categories are B1 and B. Category B1 permits you to drive light 4-wheel vehicles up to kg or up to kg if a vehicle is designed to carry extra cargo , and also entitles you to drive a quad bike. Category B permits you to drive a car and as of 16 December , is now split into two separate entitlements, depending on the date when you passed your test.
Older and more experienced drivers with pre licences have always been allowed to tow a vehicle and trailer combination including a caravan up to a combined weight - known as maximum authorised mass MAM - of 8,kg. However, newer drivers have previously only been allowed to tow a much lower trailer weight and, before the recent changes, all drivers who passed their test after 1 January were required to take and pass a car and trailer driving test before attempting to tow a trailer.
Good news! If you passed your car driving test before 1 January you are not affected by the new towing rules. More good news!
