UK new towing rules 2021 explained
Hi everybody
As of the 16th of December 2021 the towing rules in the united kingdom changed for a lot of people.
In this video we explain who it effects and how and for once it is good news that doesn't slap us with new harsh restrictions in fact it makes it a lot easier for anybody without grandpa rights to tow a trailer or caravan.
To find out if or how it will effect you (it will if you passed your test after 1997) check out our video

Best explanation so far

They've scrapped towing tests, and I wonder if that is to help clear the backlog of driving tests. They probably figured that towing tests are a statistically irrelevent portion of the population. For once, I applaud the DVSA for their pragmatism! 👍

Does it make a difference if the trailer/caravan is twin axel? So for example I passed my test is 2012, so can I tow a twin axel caravan when my jeep and caravan both together don't exceed the 3500kg guide lines

Great video for a simpleton like me I'm still struggling. I passed my test in Jan 2012. So If I bought a VW touareg which can tow 3500kg. Can I legally tow a trailer upto 3500kg with out taking any test ?

im also wondering this as surely thats not right

I sometimes see, for example a range rover or SUV towing a trailer with, say, another SUV the same size as the towing vehicle, so with the weight of the trailer itself it is towing something heavier than itself. I always thought that was illegal but as you say there are licences for towing, so I'm not sure where the law stands on it.

Without brake coupling systems like on big HGV'S

I think they must be braking the law, the car towing needs to weigh a lot more so the maths to add up I think.

@alexdennison6265 4 ай бұрын

Honestly don’t understand how it all works, does the maximum weight have to include the car that’s towing? Or is it just the total weight of trailer and car being towed? I don’t have any towing license just the car license looking to tow cars

@vanlifesurvivorsguide 4 ай бұрын

Sorry mate i've only just seen this, it's the weight of the car and the trailer you are towing plus the load. Also the towing vehicle needs to weigh quite a lot to tow a car so the ratios match so would need to be a big 4x4 or a van at a guess
