    I have a full car license and I am collecting a motocross bike in another county. Do I need a special license to pull a small motorbike trailer?

    You willneed an EB if the total gross weight (trailer and bike) exceeds 750kgs.

    From here http://www.rsa.ie/RSA/Vehicles-and-Legislation/Vehicle-Standards/Trailers/

    "With an ordinary category B licence, a person can

    tow a trailer of up to 0.75 tonnes DGVW, with a vehicle with a DGVW of up to 3.5 tonnes and seating for up to eight passengers (apart from the driver). The combination weight cannot exceed 4.25 tonnes.

    tow a trailer exceeding 0.75 tonnes DGVW, provided that the DGVW of the trailer does not exceed the un-laden weight of the towing vehicle, and the maximum combination weight does not exceed a total of 3.5 tonnes."

    That's absolutely wrong information.
