Frequently Asked Questions
Do Horseboxes need tachographs?
Your horsebox must be fitted with a tachograph. This is a device that records a vehicle’s speed over time and helps to implement EU rules on driving hours. It can be inspected by a VOSA official at any time and must be fitted at a VOSA-approved centre.
Do you need a license to drive horsebox?
In order to legally drive a 3.5-tonne horsebox on public roads, you need a Category C1 licence. This licence specifically qualifies you to drive vehicles between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes WITHOUT trailers in tow.
Do Horseboxes have brakes?
From the driver seat, horsebox air brakes have a foot brake and hand brake that basically work in the same way as your car. The only additions you can see are air tank gauges and visual/audio warnings on the dashboard.
What licence do I need to tow a horse box?
How do I get a Category B+E licence? In most cases, horseboxes exceed the standard MAM limits, so you’ll need to pass your car and trailer driving test. This test is also sometimes known as the B+E test. To take it, you’ll need a full car driving licence but you won’t have to take your theory test again.
Can I park a horse trailer on the road?
