My friends looking into buying a 3.5tonne horses box. She had an older license so can drive up to 7.5 tonne.
I have a newer license so can only drive up to 3.5 tonne.
Another friend has a 3.5tonne box which I occasionally borrow. The other day I saw the plate with weights, just inside the drivers door. It has rear and front axle loads etc AND it has the gross maximum weight, which states 4 tonne?! It also says 3500kg as the heading on the plate.
Does that mean 1) I've been illegally driving it (eek. I've always made sure the lorry plus horses are within the 3.5tonne, based on it's unladen weight ) or b) older friend would be able to drive it with an extra 500kg payload?
That would extra specially useful! !!!
