Sub 750 towing rules

[AA Teccie (Paul)]

Contributions are never worthless. Its always good to clear up any possible misunderstandings before your stood in front of a judge.

 

1, You are right however thats for a different reason.

My post is re the cat B licence regulations.

Your recollection (of one of my posts lol) is re C&U regs.

If you have +B then its the real weights that count for C&U not the plated weights. So a vehicle that can tow say 2700kg can tow a trailer plated at 3500kg as long as the real weight is =<2700kg.

 

2, the arb exemption is just re the tacho regs & the carrying of other peoples goods within 100km radius. Everyone can carry their own goods/tool of the trade or equipment up to 100km radius. If you carry other peoples goods then you need a tacho as soon as the vehicle moves unless the exemption applies.

 

Very useful clarifications, thank you.

You can't type a 750kg unbraked trailer with a Fiat 500 either if it's over 50% of the towing vehicle's weight.

Not being daft but for the cost surely it's better to do the license and then you know your safe and you can get a bigger chipper which is more effective pulls side branches though without sneding and cope better with hawthorn etc

My local provider charge

£294 for 4hour block including test

£659 for 4 sessions and test

I did the £294 as I already tow which breaks down to (over a year) about £1.30 a day. The 4 session course is only £2.92 a day.

I bet a lot of members spend more than that on coffee/energy drinks/McDonald's

Well obviously I would agree with you.

 

Not sure if this will be allowed or not.

 

For comparison my charges for one person in the car are:-

1 hour assessment £40

3 hours £120 + test fee £115 = £235

1 day £220 + test fee £115 = £335

2 days £420 + test fee £115 = £535

3 days £620 + test fee £115 = £735

(a day = 7 hours inc breaks)

Extra persons sharing time at 25% each increase + test fee.

 

Looking at your example I need to put my prices up a little
