The 'Can I tow' Calculator for post 01/01/97 drivers

[assuan]

Just posted on another thread, but thought I'd share for all:


After much research (and many hours of confusing MIS-information) I have put together a shared document on the internet that asks for details about your trailer and vehicle and then tells you if you're entitled to tow or not, and some of the commonly asked questions. Like grand-father rights, L plates, motorways....

this is only applicable to those who passed their test Post 1st Jan 1997.

Please feel free to share this around, but ONLY edit the green boxes, nothing else, or you'll mess it up

What's mam?

What's mam?

Maximum allowed Mass, i.e the fully laden weight as per the manufacturers specifications, usually displayed on the plate on the trailer.

 

[SonnysHumanSlave]

Ah ok. The spreadsheet doesn't work on my phone. My unladen is 1370, mam 2000 and trailer man 1100

 

[assuan]

ok, you can tow that combination on a standard Cat B, no +E needed.

Just realised that the way I've shared that sheet, it will only allow 1 person to edit at a time (or you'll be over writing each other lol)

I'll post it as a shared excel download I think instead:

Trailer MAM 1100? Is that a horse trailer? what make is it?

 

[assuan]

That MAM is low, sure thats not the unladen. Must be a single surely?
