How old do you have to be to pull a trailer?

[Asima]

Question in the title really, I'm hoping to go to a few shows next summer and was wondering if my boyfriend would be able to take me, he's eighteen. He drives a Navara and as he lives on a farm he knows how to tow etc so that won't be a problem. Just the age thing, apparently you have to be 20?

Anyone know?

If you past your driving test after 1997 (which he would have done) then you have to do a trailer test to legally tow

He will need to take the trailer test in order to legally tow you about.

Some info on there.

Seems like different weights require different ages
