What are the rules for towing a trailer or caravan and what has been the impact of the change?

At the end of 2021, the government controversially decided that you no longer need to take a test to tow a caravan or trailer. Join Motorhome Matt this week as we explore these towing rule changes and how they've impacted the industry 18 months on. We speak with Sharon Sparkes, a seasoned instructor from Mendip Towing Training, who shares her insights into the driver training industry and how instructors feel about the law changes.  Understand the details behind removing the B+E restriction on licenses, the importance of proper training and certification, the inherent risks of improper towing and whether these changes have led to increased accidents on the road. We also revisit the upcoming review of the C1 license entitlement to hear firsthand the reasons behind the resistance to these rule changes. What does Sharon think the government will decide?  ⬇️ Do you think this rule change is a good idea?
