NO YOU CAN'T - read your own link again! New drivers, passing their test after 1997, do not have B+E entitlement, and therefore can not tow cars / boats or trailers weighing over 750kgs
Category B+E: Vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes MAM towing trailers over 750kgs MAM
Category B+E allows vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes MAM to be combined with trailers in excess of 750kgs MAM. In order to gain this entitlement new category B licence holders have to pass a further practical test for category B+E. There is no category B+E theory test. For driver licensing purposes there are no vehicle/trailer weight ratio limits for category B+E.
Small holiday trailers with a tent and cooker in yes, car trailers, boats etc, NO.
Sorry James, your newly learned info was actually incorrect..., best forget it!
fuck me im confused? i havnt towed anything heavy for the last year since i was "told" the 750 rule. but reading that the way its worded it says;
i can basically tow a trailer under 3.5 ton mam as long as the trailer weight is not more than the weight of my car.?
the wankers why dont they word it properly, im gna call them and find out for deffinate!! as im a builder, i often use diggers and need to shift heavy stuff, and this is important to know!!!
So my landrover weighs in at 2.3 ton, and is plated to tow 3.5 ton (ps the only 4x4 that can legally pull 3.5
)
So legally i can tow a trailer that weighs in at up to 1.2 tons right? or is that 1.2+750kg???
