There seem to be a lot of the same questions being asked about towing being asked recently so I thought Id post up the links to the relevant information.

DFT Requirements for road legal trailers

DVLA towing information for vehcles up to 3.5tonnes

Camping and Caravan club B+E training and information

link to DfT's FAQs on towing & trailers

VOSA's quick guide to towing small trailers

Driving licence requirements

DfT's notes on A-Frames & Towing Dollies

46 Page pdf from the NTTA on safe & legal towing


For those that dont have the time to read all the info then a few points in brief:

1) Towing a vehicle over 750kgs with an unbraked A-frame IS illegal.

2) If you only have a category B licence then you may tow a trailer up to 750kgs MAM (allowing a combined weight up to 4.25 tonnes MAM) or a trailer over 750kgs MAM provided the MAM of the trailer does not exceed the unladen weight of the towing vehicle, and the combination does not exceed 3.5 tonnes MAM.

For example the unladen weight on the chassis plat of my vehicle is 2600kg so that means the maximum I can tow on a category B licence is 900kgs.

3) Trailers above 3500kg MAM must have coupled brakes to the towing vehicle either vacuum or air operated from the vehicles brakes. All trailers 3500kg MAM or below can have overrun brakes, if below 750kg MAM no brakes are required. If your trailer is fitted with brakes they must work on all wheels and have an auto-reversing function.


If anyone else can come up with any other bits of info please post them here. Smile

ADMIN/MODS:
Would it be possible to get this stickied so the information is always easy to find?

Also as there seem to be so many questions and threads about towing and trailers it might be an idea for a new forum section?

Hi YotaD,

The lighter the trailer is in relation to the towcar, the better ...... does that mean safer? Safe is good!

But in your case, you cannot tow a 1000kg trailer, unless you get a lighter towcar, which by implication is less safe.

Is that what they call an anomoly?

I suggest that what should be allowed is for you to be able to drive a 3500kg car, and allowed to tow a trailer up to the unladen weight of that car, subject to the manufactures limit. Limits should be writ LARGE on both tow bar and draw bar, legible without kneeling.

What WAS sancrosanct about 3500kg .... probably too late to change it now. Why didn't they choose 2000kg, or 5000kg, or even 3673kg. Could there have ben vested interests ..... see the Transit story.

Hi Ralph,

Yeah, I know what the law says, but why did the law makers pick on 3500kg? Similarly, why did they pick on 3500kg as the limit of a Group B driving licence?

At one time, a motor car was defined as any vehicles with four or more wheels, with an unladen weight of not more than 3 tons.

Can anybody remember when trucks had to display a 20MPH label?

probably because 3500kg trailers were the limit for most non-hgv vehicles, so in previous years any body could tow to that limit prior to the 'B' class car licence.

Hi, Im going to be the pain here and say I still struggle with this "2) If you only have a category B licence then you may tow a trailer up to 750kgs MAM (allowing a combined weight up to 4.25 tonnes MAM) or a trailer over 750kgs MAM provided the MAM of the trailer does not exceed the unladen weight of the towing vehicle, and the combination does not exceed 3.5 tonnes MAM." bit.

basically I own a 110 van, its 1850kg unladen, mam of 3050kg. Obviously the unladen weight would mean a reasonably large trailer, however assuming the land rover was empty even then the combination of the 2 would instantly be 3700kg, Would this fall into the 4.25 tonnes category? As theres still the ability of 1200kg to go in the land rover which in total would equal 4900kg.

obviously im never going to get close to that weight in the land rover but as its done alot on MAM not actual these days is what confuses me.

sure I cant be the only one which this bit confuses
Cheers

edit: on second thoughts is it a simple as 4250kg minus 3050kg = 1200kg which being the mam of the trailer?

Hi Andy,

There is no trade off.

If your towcar has a MGW of 3500kg, you can tow a 750kg trailer.

But if your towcar has a MGW of 3000kg, you can still only tow a 750kg trailer. NOT 1250kg.

Strangely, the way the driving licence regulations are worded, if your towcar has an unladen weight of 550kg (Citroen 2CV) you can still tow 750kg ..... I THINK ..... provided the car manufacturer hasn't said you can't, which probably means you need a very old 2CV.

But note that unless your tow car weighs more than 1500kg UNLADEN, your 750kg trailer will need brakes, and pro-rata down the scale. That means that my S1 Land Rover cannot tow an 750kg unbraked trailer, but my Disco can.

Does it make any difference to the 2CVs towing limit if you pour moulten lead into the chassis rails?

602

i think im right in saying (please tell me if im wrong) but, if you dont have 'grandfather' rights and want to tow over the new 3.5t limit this can be achieved by the 'young' driver being accompanied by a 'grandfather' passenger with 'L' plates on the vehicle.
im only 28 with no towing rights driving lwb shogun so i cant really tow any sort of trailer unless its very very small!!
something else that im sure ive read somewhere, again if im wrong please correct me, if you use a 2wd vehicle you can tow 1.5 times the towing vehicles weight but if you use a 4wd vehicle it goes up to 2 times the towing vehicles weight.
can anyone verify the last statement please.

You cannot carry any sort of load in the vehicle or trailer whilst on L plates.


The bit about differing weights for 4wd and 2wd is not anywhere in the regs.

The ONLY regulation defining what the vehicle can tow is the towing limits set by the manufacturer.

You can do anything you like if the police dont catch you.
But dont believe everything you read on forums. Smile

Find a DVLA site that tells you that a learner driver in the UK with a provisional licence can tow a trailer/horse box, loaded or not,
& put the link up please.

*THE PERSON PROVIDING SUPERVISION WILL REQUIRE THE CORRECT LICENCE & INSURANCE FOR THE VEHICLE/OUTFIT BEING DRIVEN BY THE DRIVER BEING SUPERVISED INCASE THEY NEED TO TAKE OVER THE DRIVING.*

Then find a insurance company that will provide cover for a 'full licence' holding private driver (not a professional HGV instructor)
to sit next to a learner driver that is towing a trailer while under instruction.

I am sure there are enough idiots that would sit next to a learner driver that is towing a trailer carrying a horse/horses.
They would deserve the fine/points on their licence or the ban that i hope they would recieve. IMHO.
Its the 'Full licence holder' providing the instruction to know the law,
even more than the inexperienced driver they are supervising. IMHO.

thats fair shout mate, like i say im not 100% on towing laws, just going by info that i have found and been told.
i just find it very frustrating that myself a youngish driver cant legally tow even though i have many years experience on the farm and towing illegally (which i try not too any more) but then old boy joe bloggs that has just retired buys a huge caravan and sets off with no experience atall, who is the bigger danger on the road? rant over!
last time i got pulled over for towing i asked the copper if he knew exactly how i stood on towing, his reply was 'its a very grey area' but did explain the 3.5t rule, DONT EXCEED IT.

George, we're not talking about PROVISIONAL license holders towing - That IS illegal.


We're talking about a full license holder who does NOT have B+E Entitlement driving a LOADED combination whilst supervised and on L plates.

You cannot carry any load in vehicle or trailer whilst towing on L plates - Even if your Horse weighs less than 750kgs (That thread was the biggest load of horse droppings I've ever read!)

GREY AREA!!!!????

Towing laws are about as clear as you can get.

Still - I encountered a copper that did NOT know about seatbelt exemptions as outlined in the highway code.

Re. Police & seat belt exemption.

I had a seat belt exemption letter for my work with the council.

I was sitting having a break outside a shop & beside a parked police car.
As i went to manouvered out, a traffic inspector walked infront of me & blocked my way.
He came to the window & said "Get your seatbelts on."
I told him we had seatbelt exemption.
He said "that will not stop you going through the window,
GET YOUR BELTS ON.

There are systems out there, I've seen it done.
Can't remeber how it worked tho.

Not forgetting you need it on a Ring hitch as Towballs are max 3500kgs...
