Oh, praise the Lord and God willing this happens. I will take up religion if it comes to pass. Any religion. If Boris said "I will get rid of the B&E test and you can tow any trailer with any vehicle," I might vote Tory. That's how stupid I think the current legislation is. And how self-interested I am, which says lots of terrible things about me. I guess we all have a price.
The US does not require a test to tow a bloody six horse gooseneck on a 5 ton Ford F-350, and people are handy trailer drivers. I have never taken a test, and I could parallel park my horse trailer -- a big two horse slant loading one attached to an F-250 -- in Manhattan. Man, I loved that rig.
The current regs are nonsensical. You can tow a small trailer with a small vehicle on a B license anyway, up to 3.5t. The skills for backing, maneuvering, etc. don't change regardless of size and weight. And you need to not be an idiot and tow with a vehicle that can handle your trailer weight, and your stopping distance will be pants, but that's true on a B license as well. The laws of physics are the laws of physics. I honestly don't understand the difference between towing with a Skoda Yeti or a Toyota Hilux, and why one is kosher, but not the other on my B license. Other than the Hilux being way less sketchy and better equipped for the job. I understand that very well. Maybe it's cultural. When people on the COTH forum post about towing vehicles, the answers are usually along the lines of, "The biggest f*cking truck you can stomach." You can take the girl out of Colorado, etc. etc.
