    The portion in bold above is incorrect... you are not allowed to "carry" 3500kg on a B lisence..
    "provided that the combined MAM of the vehicle and trailer is not greater than 3,500kg"


    It clearly states that the combination weight of towing vehicle, trailer and load can be a maximum of 3500kg.
    I checked this out recently for towing a 1400kg caravan behind my xtrail.. Have it printed in the glove box as many, many Garda aren't clear themselves on the rules..

    Sorry - I meant combination...I'll change my post...

    I wasn't meaning to be pedantic. It's just you'd be amazed at the number of people who see something like that on the inter web and take it as gospel. I'd hate to think of some lad in wellies getting in a bind with 3500kg on his trailer and his best defence is "but I saw it was ok on boards.ie". ;)
