Why is a BE Category License Important?

For many drivers, their standard Category B car license does not permit them to tow larger trailers. To legally and safely tow a combination of a car and a trailer where the maximum authorised mass (MAM) of the combination exceeds 3,500 kg, you need a Category BE driving license. Our trailer driving lessons are specifically structured to prepare you for the RSA Category BE driving test, ensuring you meet all the necessary criteria.
