Replied by facade on topic Unbraked towing
When was that changed?
AFAIK, at a roadside pull, they look at the plated gross train weight of your vehicle (mine is 2720 Kg), subtract the vehicle MAM (1420 Kg) leaves 1300Kg, and look at the trailers plated MAM, if it is more than 1300 Kg, you're nicked. Doesn't matter what the trailer or car actually weighs (unless you are over the MAM on either, but that is weighbridge time) it's what is on the plate.
