Towing Question

[Matt-Rallye]

they have portable scales, have had for a few years, I've seen overloaded transit tippers being pulled into a Tesco carpark by vosa  (dvsa now iirc)


it does matter what the mam of the vehicle is, my bmw is 1400 empty, 2000 gvw.

1800kg towing weight, however on my licence i can obviously only put 1500 behind it.

so a BJ minno with a 1400kg mam is fine with a 205 on it, trailer weighs 400 kg (2 axle thing)  205 is under 1000 kg.

So by dums reckoning, because the vehicle and trailer maximum is beyond your entitlements you cant tow that
