Without, of course, mentioning Artics where the tractor units generally weigh around 8T and the trailer 34T

'Cos they're actually semi-trailers - ie: attached to the tractor unit via a 'fifth wheel' coupling rather than a tow-bar ... and the unit's designed for this purpose.
Semi-trailers are also subject to annual MoT testing.

Yep, but still come under the same vehicle regulations

OK... Drawbar trailers... Type used for car transporters

'Cos the tractor unit's designed (and plated) for such duties man ... GTW (or is it MAM nowadays?)

Just rely on what the weight 'plate' says on the B post and you won't go wrong 

that is what i was trying to find out,not the law.trailer regs,licence details etc but it seams to have gone off subject
