As my husband passed his test in Jan 1997 he doesn't have b+e on his licence.  This has never been a problem - until we got a new car!  I assumed that as it was only a few cm longer than our previous car we would still be ok, but upon checking yesterday
I am most definately wrong!

So now i have a problem.  We go abroad in 8 weeks and he's not legal to tow our van (which we store in France)  I however am legal to tow it (having passed in 1996) but I hate towing and really don't feel I could do it.  He has many years of towing experience
and is far more confident at it that I could ever hope to be.

He wants to take the test but we're finding it hard to get the course booked up within such a restricted time frame so my question is...  Can he tow abroad using L plates with me beside him? 

Any suggestions welcome
