They changed it because the standard test doesn't (and didn't) involve any training on towing safely

The number of times I've been driving behind someone pulling a trailer going over 70 and the trailer has been skipping all over the place is simply staggering... Everything from small trailers to caravans to horse boxes (even occupied horse boxes!) :shock:

That said, I don't know how I would go about getting licensed to tow (not that I'd want to; I take the Top Gear view on caravanning)
