Having just down graded from a 4x4, i bought a renault laguna DCI to tow my van. The problem is i got the gross plated weight of the van wrong, the cars kerb weight is 1385 kgs, and the vans GPW is 1400 kgs.
Now only me and the wife travel and we are never anywhere near the vans gpw and i am an experienced tower and a hgv driver, but i need the legal angle on this, if i keep the vans weight below the cars weight and stay within my gross train weight am i still legal, or is it a simple fact that as the vans gpw exceeds the cars kerb weight i am breaking the law.?
I cannot easily change the car or the van.
Its the legal angle i really need please. Tim
