Argh!!!!
God I hate this country sometimes.
I like many young people these days passed there driving test after aug 1997 meaning i dont have an entitlement to Tow with a B+E catagory on my license only B.
Now because of this stupid rule I can legally tow my Caravan with my volvo estate the laden wieght of the trailer is less than the unladen weight of the towcar and the MAM of them both is less than 3.5t. NOw i've worked it out to be about 75-80% towing capacity.
Now whats the probelm you may ask? Well the veehicle I NEED to tow the caravan with is a Hilux pickup. Now with this veichle even though the total train weight will easily be under my max of 3.5t I can not tow it as the MAM of them both is over 4t. With the Hilux the veichel with be towing about 45-50% which is nothing.
Why is it they couldnt have just made the license catagory so that if the vehicle is not towing over 100% and they both loaded up, weigh less than 3.5t then thats fine.
ARGH!!!!!
God things are soo complicated sometimes.
