okay is another towing thread

okay i passed a standard car test in 93

the tow vehicle is a landrover 90 that weighs 1980Kg without me in it and its maximum train weight is 5900kg on the VIN plate and on the towbar it sayes 3500Kg

Now i have read the 85% thing is only a recommendation and has no legal basis

So how much can tow legally

Next question if i set up a car moving company that i might as i have lots of time off work then will this rig be legal? Or would i need a tacho fitted

Also what insurance would i need to get to run this business?

okay that makes everything perfectly grey


I wish to stay legal as i am one of those ethnic minorities that can be legally picked on single heterosexual white male


Could one of the BiB that hangs around here before i give up and buy a 7.5ton transporter or burberry cap
