Your provisional licence will not be automatically upgraded to allow you tow if either:

you already have a provisional licence
DVLA processes your application for a provisional licence before 15 November
You will need to apply to DVLA from 15 November to get your provisional licence upgraded so you can take a trailer test without first taking a rigid test.

If DVLA processes your first provisional vocational licence from 15 November
If DVLA processes your first provisional vocational licence from 15 November you’ll automatically be allowed to drive tow a trailer as a provisional licence holder.

What a pain it won’t be automatically upgraded… I just got mine back a couple of weeks ago!

Surely this will create loads more processing work :unamused:

I wonder how we’ll need to go about ‘Upgrading’?

Only the (any!!) Government could screw this up!

WTF…

I knew I’d get stung by the timing.

I have an existing D2 form from just 6 weeks ago. Is it the same form as will be used for this change? i.e. if I re-apply for my provisional, will it get updated■■?

I’m tempted to not bother changing it as it just means more delay.
