Can you tow legally?

Drivers who passed before the 1st January 1997

You need a full driving licence to tow any kind of trailer;

If you passed your Driving test before the 1st January 1997 you should be entitled to drive a vehicle and trailer with a combined weight a maximum of 8.25tonnes.

MAM stands for Maximum Authorised Mass this means you are covered for most things, including large 4 wheel drive vehicles or vans, pulling large caravans or boats. 

Drivers who passed post-1997

For drivers who passed their test after January 1st 1997 – the MAM limit in that is 4.25 tonnes, and that’s only with a tow vehicle of 3.5 tonnes, which would limit the trailer to 750kgs. If you want to pull a trailer over 750kgs on a post-1997 driving licence, the combined tow vehicle and trailer MAM drops to 3.5 tonnes.

As an added complication, the trailer MAM must be lower than the tow vehicle’s weight, too. This shouldn’t be too much of a worry though, as most car towing (on a trailer) or caravan towing combinations falls within these parameters. If you are unsure of your vehicles weight refer to the handbook for you trailer weight check the weight plate or take it to a weighbridge
