What the petition asks
Since the Government announced the B+E trailer test is now scrapped and anyone with a full UK driving license can now tow without the test, all drivers who paid the fee and passed the B+E trailer test should be upgraded to be able to drive 7.5t HGVs.
Passed B+E drivers have proved their skills at manoeuvring and driving on the roads with a vehicle and trailer, and deserve to be upgraded in return for the now unnecessary test fee they paid.
