Towing
a trailer and the Laws
Since
1st January 1997
If
you obtained your driving licence after 1st January 1997 you
will have to take and pass the B+E car and trailer test.
As
the law stands today, a driver without a B+E licence can tow
a trailer, providing the gross weight of the trailer is less
than the un-laden weight of the towing vehicle. The whole
combination must weigh less than 3500kgs in total (most horsebox
towing setups exceed this)
Exemption
A
post '97 licence holder can however tow a trailer with a gross
weight of around 1500kgs, providing the towing vehicle and
trailor are carefully matched. If this matching is not done
correctly, it will fail to comply with the exemption, resulting
in the driver being unlicensed and uninsured. In a court of
law this could carry a maximum of 9 penalty points and £1000
fine and in some cases even a ban.
