You're also into "O" license, and tachograph, territory
If the vehicle is under 7.5 t `O` licence isnt needed.....is it?
I know about the tacho, needed even if a tow bar is fitted and not used i believe, Pain in the arse but work easy enough.

Yes so say the train weight is 6 ton. So vif a 3.5 ton vehicle is fully loaded and dragging a loaded trailer GW of 2 ton = 5.5ton then less than the train weight if it ok.
So is it ok to use an unloaded 3.5ton GVW beaver tail ( 2ton ) to tow a trailer loaded to a GW of 3.5 ton ?
Just seems heavy to tow that rig.
