Jumping on the post here.
but im an after 97 driver, no real towing rights!
How much does it cost to do the test and get it added?
Where / who do you do tests with?
yes . i passed after 1997. so you have the same rights as me
basically the best situation u can have as a towing vehicle which weighs 1.8 tons, which then enables you to pull a trailer weighing 1.7 ton.
sadly as my beast is 2.3 ton, i can only pull a 1.2 ton trailer! (which seems daft as my 110 landrover is far more capable/safer than a car which weight less but is then allowed to pull more relative weight!
)
basically to clarify again, if u passed AFTER 1997.
your total mass weight (car & trailer) can be up to 3.5 ton
AS LONG AS THE TRAILER WEIGHS LESS THEN THE CAR.
(ie u cant pull a 2 ton trailer if the car only weighs 1.5 ton)
if u passed before 1997 u can drive anything up to 8.25 ton i think. i.e a 7.5 ton truck with a 750 trailer. Any more and u need an HGV licence
