Maybe someone knows the answer to this. Obviously I can contact DVSA but just trying to educate myself first.
We want to let someone do their C & E practical test in one of our vehicles.
The only suitable trailer we have is a rear steer. (Command steer type linked to fifth wheel).
I cannot see if that is not allowed in some clause or other as the DVSA site is a nightmare to navigate.
Not sure why it should be as it’s advantages in negotiating roundabouts etc. are often outweighed by the tail swing.
These are the rules I found :- gov.uk/guidance/rules-for-l … ving-tests

Rear steer is ok
Does it comply with all the other regulations in that link - load weight, examiner mirrors etc etc

Thanks for that.
Yes it does apart from examiner mirrors.
I just had the idea that they were excluded, rear steers that is.

Do they actually ask for the examiner mirrors ? All the driving school ones around here don’t look as if they have them.

I thought they just used the blindspot mirrors.
