A mate of mine has just told me that if you don't have a licence to tow. Ie after 97. You can drive one with someone in the car who has a pre 97 licence and have L plates. Like your learning from the guy in the car??
Never heard anyone being able to do that before? Truth or bull??

 

i too have heard this and as long as you notify your insurance co it should be fine as far as i know!

 

Your mate is correct. All based upon towing weight of the vehicle. EG if you have a land rover for example you can legally pull 3.5t behind you. plus the weight of the landy itself and your still under the legal limit of 7.5t

 

So a discovery with small twin axel trailer and my stripped mk3 VR6 track car. Me driving with a pre 97, licence I passed August 97. My mate passenger. Passed 95 and some L plates. And I can drive.
It's just I'm going to take my trailer test in the new year. I drive Rangerover and boat trailers all day in private yard so I'm more confident than my mate is. I have a track day at brands on Saturday.

 

Just confirmed with a call to DVLA
