your research needs more work

It is one of the oldest MYTHS in towing with B category vehicles

There is no law which states that the MAM of a trailer cannot exceed the towing capacity

I'll put in my usual challenge - £100 to anyone who can prove otherwise - and I am serious
When I get a moment I will take you up on your offer. I've seen a few threads where people have got done for it (Transit forum I belive), so there will be some legislation somewhere.
