Alternative is to inform your insurers and have them trace the TP...

I refer the honorable gentleman to my first post. :y
You're legally and contractually obliged to tell them whether you want to or not ::)

You're prepared to bend this point yet unwilling to flex slightly in order to simply confirm that TP is even insured...

Is that correct? I must read my policy sometime. :-X

As I have now reported it to the police, and had to fill in a witness report, I imagine the least they will do is check the TP for paperwork infringements. :y

The MAM is still restricted to 3,500kgs. So in your case, your maximum loaded trailer weight is a touch over 1,200 kgs unless you have +E, and smaller cars may allow a higher gross trailer weight, but won't necessarily be able to tow that weight. Actually quite a clever restriction.

Basically, in order to carry out any significant towing, you need to take a +E test ;)

..or you do as most young glider pilots do these days and seek out the lightest car they can possibly find that will tow their trailer legally and keep under 3,500 kg. ::)

Nice one, DVLA, 'cos it's always safer to tow with a car that's as light as a feather instead of an effing great chelsea tractor.. >:(
