In1997 the regulations changed for category Cat B holders, you were no longer entitled to Cat B+E grandfather rights, you would need to take a Cat B+E test. The good news for a lot of people is that you can actually tow a trailer on a Cat B licence, and you do not need to take the additional B+E test. However you are restricted by the Maximum Authorised Mass of the trailer. You can tow a trailer up to 750kg maximum authorised mass on your car licence. Below is a an extract from the current legislation.
