Hi,
Looking at the DVLA website mentioned a few mails ag0, I see.....
B
Motor vehicles with a MAM of up to 3,500 kg, no more than eight passenger seats, with or without a trailer - weighing no more than 750 kg
17*
B
As category B but with a trailer weighing more than 750 kg. The total weight of the vehicle and the trailer together can't weigh more than 3,500 kg. The weight of the trailer, when fully loaded, can't weigh more than the unladen weight of the vehicle
Taking the top one first, I think it says that you can drive a 3500kg MAM vehicle plus a trailer up to 750kg.
The second paragraph say that if the trailer weighs more than 750kg, by which I presume they mean a MAM of over 750kg (???) then the tow car must weigh more, unlasen, that the MAM of the trailer. And because the trailer has an MAM in excess of 750kg, you cannot tow it if the combined MAMs exceed 3500kg.
Somebody should produce an idiot sheet (aka Logical Tree)to make life easier for Class B licence holders.
'Does trailer weigh more than 750kg?' If YES go to 'Does car weigh more than ........'. No! Sorry! My brain hurts. Not impossible, but I can't be bothered. Maybe after Xmas.
