im sure its to do with total mam's when it comes to towing on an later type licence (what i have)
total mam of car and of trailer must be less than 3500kg (mam= maximum alowable mass)
i asked a traffic copper about it and he said i could not tow a trailer! then i showed him the back of my licence but no one has been able to give me a stright answer and some trailers dont have marking so what happens then?

good thing is i can tow a trailer of any size with a motor bike or trike after i passed my bike test

It's no wonder there is so much confusion, my previous quote was also from a page on the gov.uk website about towing..

So.. The maximu trailer weight a class B can actualy pull is 1750KG, so long as the car they have is exactly 1750KG too.
