The reversing required on a car test is pants. Basically just parking into a space or a straight reverse for two car lengths. I like to take mine on a narrow country lane with less than 1 foot to spare all round. Then reverse round a few gentle bends with good views for safety. Also teach to actively look for passing points or just wide sections. So many stop in the narrow section having just passed a wide bit.

Dont get stopped. The amount of metal wont keep you from getting a ticket.

The D denotes the dynamic load limits. Ring / ball combo units can be down rated if the pin runs in the middle of the ball. Look for ones with a separate pin / ball. D values The "D" value is a rating measured in kN which reflects the dynamic loading limits between a towing vehicle and a trailer. (Wikipedia) The "D" value of a Towing Jaw determines the gross weight combination of the towing vehicle and the trailer that can be used with that particular jaw. The "D" value is calculated as follows: D = 9.81 × (T × C) ÷ (T + C) T = Towing Vehicle Weight - GVW C = Trailer Weight - GVW 9.81 = Gravity For example, a towing vehicle of 3500kg GVW combined with a trailer of 3500kg GVW would require a towing hitch with a "D" value of: 9.81 × (3.5 × 3.5) ÷ (3.5 + 3.5) = 17.167 Historically, the maximum GVW of an LCV was 3500kg and the maximum GVW for an over-run brake system is 3500kg - hence why a "D" value of 17kN is the most common

Down side is most small transits cant tow much weight. ] The 280 range a paltry 800kg & the 250 1000kg.

Torque is more important for hills.

Is that a grey import?

You wont get 7500kg GTW on a post 19-01-2013 BE licence. Its 7000kg.

I use the WP30. Last contract job I did we split about 23 IBC's to sub 9" in a day. Me on the processor & one person feeding the stack to my lifters & taking the filled cages away. If it cant 4 / 6 way split you can single split the harder stuff.

Before I bought my Wp30 I looked at them. Lighter made & no road legal trailer were my worries.

You would need active ie air brakes on the trailer to gross over 3500kg.

If you are in wales I can get you 75% funding.

You will get done for overloading. The legal limit has been lowered. Its that simple. You can try to twist it how you like. Your still overloaded and illegal. Both would get done the same.

They could argue that your licence / training was not up to the weight. Also some down plating does have a requirement to remove items to limit weight capacity. On C class trucks some bolts have to be removed.

The battery issue has already been sorted for licences with a B licence allowed I think 4250kg if its pure elec. Not sure that tacho and O licence gas caught up yet.

Then they are not fit for the work you do.

A 3.5t wont weigh 3t empty. Just do the licence & run heavier vehicles.

WHY? 5 fat blokes & your over weight.

Under a reasonable distance they dont have to cover your costs if there is nothing wrong. Over & they have to compensate you if you are legal. The makers often quote an unladen weight on the specs. Some trailers have it on the plate but not many in the O2 catagory (under 3500kg). Most enforcers only know the law / rule not all the exemptions that go with it.

Pps dvla dont deal with iva.

PS vosa don't exist. They merged 5 years ago.

Agri trailers don't need them.

More likely they were not looking for that offence as it was not a target.

Correct.

Just because they let you go does not mean its legal.

You asked the wrong question. All trailers sold or made need iva.
