Heavy codes and trailers
EB, EC1 and EC lessons, with the trailer checked every time.
An E-code lesson needs more than a free instructor. It needs a vehicle with a tow bar and a trailer that is not already hitched to something else. DriveSync treats trailers as part of your fleet and checks both before an E-code lesson or test is booked, so nobody arrives for a trailer lesson without a trailer.
How it works
- 1
Add your fleet
Record each vehicle’s licence code, transmission and whether it has a tow bar. Add trailers as fleet items in their own right.
- 2
Book the lesson
Choose EB, EC1 or EC and DriveSync only offers vehicles that can tow, plus a trailer that is free and suits that code.
- 3
No double-hitching
A trailer out on a lesson or held for a road test cannot be booked for anything else in that slot.
What you get
- Licence codes per vehicle: A1, A, B, EB, C1, EC1 and EC
- Tow bar and towing capacity recorded on each vehicle
- Trailers with their own registration, GVM, brakes and roadworthy date
- A Code B car with a tow bar can also serve an EB lesson
- Manual and automatic matched to what the learner is learning in
- Road tests hold the learner, instructor, car and trailer for the whole slot
- A trailer surcharge on E-code lessons and test-day vehicles, set once or per code
Questions
Does DriveSync support Code EB, EC1 and EC?
Yes. Once your trailers are in DriveSync, an EB, EC1 or EC lesson is only paired with a vehicle that has a tow bar and a trailer that is free and suits that licence code.
Can the same trailer be booked for a lesson and a road test at once?
No. Lessons and road tests share the same trailers, so a trailer held for a test cannot also go out on a lesson in that slot.
Do I need a separate truck for EB lessons?
Not in DriveSync. A Code B car with a tow bar fitted can be used for EB lessons, and DriveSync will offer it.
