While checking in at the campsite, the site manager asks about your licence. You have a tandem-axle trailer (double axle) of 1,500 kg behind a car of 1,800 kg (combination 3,300 kg). The manager says: 'You need a BE licence for that, surely?' Is that correct?
No, the combination stays within 3,500 kg, so a plain B licence is enough
Yes, with B the trailer may not be heavier than 750 kg
Yes, with two axles BE is needed, however heavy the combination is
Explanation
False — you remember only half of the rule. With a plain B the trailer may also be heavier than 750 kg, as long as car and trailer together do not weigh more than 3,500 kg. Book p.233.
