Cars don't have GTW as such.
Recommended that trailer/ caravan does exceed the weight of the car.
Caravan doesn't weigh anywhere near a car transporter trailer with car on, unless you fill it up with a lot of gear.
Have you seen them when they shovel them up off the motorway, it all fits into a small skip

Mine lets me tow up to 750KG or ANY single-axle trailer, or any vehicle from 3.5 to 7.5 tonne maximum Authorised Mass. (Anyone know if that is GVW or Train Weight?)
Don't know if you get single-axle trailers over 750KG, but people with more recent licences don't even get these rights.

Would I be right in saying that I dont have a proper licence to be towing a twin axle car transporter with a car on it even if im using a land-rover or something that is plated high enough for the weights ? Passed my test in Aug 98.
If so what test do I need to take ?
