Car licences obtained on or after 1 January 1997
If you passed a car test on or after 1 January 1997 you’re limited to vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes maximum authorised mass towing a trailer up to 750kgs, or a vehicle and trailer combination up to 3.5 tonnes MAM providing the MAM of the trailer doesn’t exceed the unladen mass of the towing vehicle. You will need to pass an additional driving test in B+E if you wish to tow a caravan or trailer combination which exceeds these weight limits.
Puts a 1 kilo brick on the trailer and calls old bill

YES 
Funny rules these because if you wish to increase the trailer size then the combination weight reduces from 4.25 to 3.5 !!

its even more funny that a class 2 driver can drive a 32ton 8legger and tow a 750kg trailor but not a transit van with an 1ton trailor
