[ste_goffy]

As title,

i have gained my B+E licence (taken the test)

the question is on the lead up to billing.........

Im planning on driving the vec c with a Brian james trailer and the Calibra dtm on it, will i be legal?

The calibra weighs 1265kg (although probably less with rust fall off lol)
the trailer is plated iirc 1000kg per axle
then there is the vec

any websites with great answers etc also helpfull

You need C+E or D+E for over 750kg

Category B+E allows vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes MAM to be combined with trailers in excess of 750kgs MAM. In order to gain this entitlement new category B licence holders have to pass a further practical test for category B+E. There is no category B+E theory test. For driver licensing purposes there are no vehicle/trailer weight ratio limits for category B+E.


This is a copy and paste off the main website

and what is the towing weight of the Vectra ...I would guess though you will be over weight with that rig though as you can only tow to 100% of the weight of towing vehicle

The weights you quote for the trailer is that not the max permissible weight per Axel? as I doubt it will weigh over 2 tonnes

[bodgetastic]

I can safely say it wont be legal to tow with the Vec

At a very rough guide a Brian's jame twin axel is going to around 750 800kg point so your going to be looking at a 2 ton set up. It's more than the vectra weight. Unfortunately the old callys are not a light boat to start with
