daddymatty82 3 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 its an easy as hell test so i heard just showing you can hitch up you know the speed limits etc oh and basic movements like reversing into a box and down and around a track made up i not done my test and i wont but its a case of if i need to tow a trailer i will but i dont very often i have done with big trailers well van and trailer was only 41ft long and 10 ft wide doing removals we had a van and trailer loaded up and put into a 7.5t lorrie only weighed 11.5t so i drove over weight a few times but i done so safely and unknowingly at time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottishlass 57 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 the date the law changed was 1997 i missed it by a few weeks and need to sit a test for a trailer but i was able to drive atractor with a huge trailer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burnie69 376 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Anyone passing there test after january 1997 will have to sit a test anyone before, grandfather rights stand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,506 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 when did you pass your test ?? as if it was after 97 you will need to sit a test to tow anything over 750kg. if your towing a combined weight over 3500kg for a business you will also need a tachograph fitted to the towing vehicle.
