From next month, the DVLA is bringing in a huge change for drivers going on camping holidays. At the moment, you don't need to pass a specific test to tow a trailer or caravan.

But according to the DVLA, it will be bringing in new regulations about what you're allowed to tow and not allowed to tow. Depending on when you got your licence, it will also effect what you can pull behind your car.
