Hi
Got the date for my test today.As I'm from a farming background and will probably be using a cattle trailer,Ive applied for category EB!
I got this attached to my e-mail:

Please read the enclosed leaflet Final Checks for your Driving Test. This tells you about important conditions that you must meet before taking your test.

If you fail to meet these conditions, your test will not be conducted on the day and you will lose your fee.

Do i need to use a trailer as part of my test?
Thanks for the help!

First of all do you already have a Cat B licence or is this your first driving test ?

You cant do a Cat EB (Car + Trailer) unless you already have a Cat B licence - (in fact you cant get a Learner Permit for EB unless you have a full Cat .

So, I'm confused by your question :-)

If you really are doing a Cat EB test then you must provide a suitable trailer on the day of the test, if you are only doing a Cat B test then it is just a car and assuming you pass then you start again for the EB - you cant jump straight to the EB.

Hope that makes sense!
