Just reading this thread and looked to compare my old Kia Sedona with my shiny XC90.
Found typo on Kia V5 - Max Permissible mass 27382 !!!!! Do I need a different licence? lol |

I have noticed many errors on V5s in the past Volvos described as Fords, wrong engine size etc.
Always check a new one to make sure it is correct.

Interesting reading.
I towed a 4 berth caravan from Birmingham to near Villedieu- Les- Poeles, in Normandy with my 1986 740GLE in 2003 and didn't even realise I shouldn't of as I passed my test in 1999!! Thankfully it went very well. I think it's a bit of a ridiculous rule as presume even if I wanted to use a builders trailer can't as need B+E?

Just get yourself a C+E licence (Class 1 HGV in "old money") - and you can drive anything - problem sorted ![]() Cheers

"If you passed your car driving test from 1 January 1997, you’ll be allowed to tow trailers up to 3,500kg MAM when the law changes. DVLA will update your driving licence record to show that you’re allowed to tow trailers. You’ll get category BE added to your driving licence when you get a new photocard driving licence. You do not need to contact DVLA for this to happen. It will be done automatically." I don't have B+E at the moment. So all I need to do is weight for the law to change then boom! I have it, it seems when I renew my photocard licence. Happy with that. |
