.....  .....combination does not exceed 3500kg and the MAM of the trailer does not exceed the unladen mass of the towing vehicle  .....

Does that mean then, that as a newly qualified driver you're allowed to tow a 1750kg trailer/caravan with a 1750kg car? ie 100%

Maximum trailer weight is 750 kgs....

Seems this is catching out a few younger caravaners.

Oh! As, obviously it doesn't affect me I've never really taken much notice, but I'd always thought that as long as the total didn't exceed 3 & 1/2 tonne you were within the new rules, but as again ...... I'm wrong.
Just another level of beuraucracy that costs us all. I can't see that compared to the millions of miles travelled by Joe Public that trailer accidents counts very high in them.
