Welcome Instrutorone.
You will have to be patient with the old boys son here. They miss a lot of clues and are not very ALERT at noticing things.
Bless 'em.
He He…Not Stirlings… 
Those that may not be as alert as they think!
Car licences obtained before 1 January 1997
If you passed a car test before 1 January 1997 you keep your existing entitlement to tow trailers until your licence expires. This means you’re generally entitled to drive a vehicle and trailer combination up to 8.25 tonnes maximum authorised mass (MAM). You also have entitlement to drive a minibus with a trailer over 750 kgs MAM.
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 750 kgs, 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’ll 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.
and
Category B + E - car and trailer test vehicles must be
an unladen category B vehicle towing a suitably braked, unladen trailer of at least one tonne MAM. The examiner may ask for evidence of the trailer MAM, for example the manufacturer’s plate
Well I am completely lost with all the ALERT things going on here!
Anyway Chris, welcome.
Do you do Hiab training? (Before Ken gets his 2 cents in, LOL)
