Yes I like the terry with a trailer,here's mine it's only 750k but it gets lots of use full of sand and blocks

When you come here sooner or later you have to change your UK licence for a French one and when you do this you loose the right to tow anything over 750k and drive anything over 3.5 ton . But you can get it back if you specifically ask for it ,as it was on your UK licence ,But you have to take a medical

Thank you for that link.

This answers my earlier question, that I can legally tow my boat trailer whose GW is 2600 kg, with a Picasso, that can only legally tow 1300 kg, as the empty kerb weight of the trailer is only 600 kg.

I thought this was the case, but now it is clear from that document.

Talk about beauracracy. Here in nz class 1(up to 6.5 tonne) your licence includes the assuption you maybe towing a car trailer or 5th wheel caravan in the licencing test questions, So basically you can drive any combination up to 6500kgs. Although not required to tow trailer for practical licence obviously.

H.T. is class 2 up to 12500 kgs twin axle, class three is trailer with a gross no more then18500 kgs class 4 is more then two axles and trailer up to 28500 kgs and class 5 is 50 tonnes any combination. Articulated etc.

That's far too simple for us Brits.

How can you keep thousands of staff employed sorting out and issuing licences with something as simple as that. Next thing you will be telling us is that you have a system where you do not have to send in a new photo and pay every 10 years to renew something that is meant to last until you are 70.

they did, at 9" diameter, classed as big truck spots, weren't upto much, really needed
bracing back to front grill. Main use was could better determine where front of truck
was as could see their tops over bonnet! Had to take them off to get grill off to power
wash rad after a mud hole and never went back on,
