Hi Lutz,
You may recall I thought I could not tow my 2T MTPLM trailer part loaded with my car of MTM 1T6.
I posed the question to the Bods and HMGov, and they came back with the answer. You were right. I can.
You can tow any trailer provided its actual mass is no more than the MTM defined by the vehicle manufacture - even if the tralier's MTPLM is greater. This makes sense, though it makes PC Plod's job more difficult if trying to prove overloading.
I have informed my 'trailer expert', and he was surprised.
Thanks for your input.
