Everyone who has passed their test since 1 January 1997 has to take a towing test to tow certain sizes of trailers, which includes all horse trailer outfits. Preparing for the Towing Test tells the test candidate everything they need to know. The book examines the regulations laid down for the drivers and the towing and towed vehicles. Each stage of the test, the manoeuvres, and how to practise them, are described, including the test format and marking, manoeuvring-area layout, road sense, reversing, braking and coupling and uncoupling, and are supported by clear photographs and diagrams. The author also emphasizes considerations specifically applicable to towing horses not covered by the test.
