Your trailer driver's license
Class BE
Learning to drive a trailer the easy way
Even experienced drivers can have problems driving a trailer, and reversing in particular is often a challenge. Some even prefer to do an extra lap around the block just to avoid reversing with a trailer. In a city like Munich, this can become a lengthy procedure until you finally have enough space to park.
A vacation with a trailer or caravan should be relaxing – without knowing how, it can be rather nerve-wracking, especially on unfamiliar routes where unexpected problems occur. But it’s not that difficult to steer a trailer if you know the right technique.
With us, you can learn how to do it at your leisure. The size of the trailer doesn’t matter. The only important thing is that you learn how to use it without stress and practise together with us.
