Cars & Commercials under 1525kg Unladen Weight
There is no specific law restricting the weight of a braked trailer which may be towed by these vehicles.
However, exceeding the maximum towing weight or train weight set by the vehicle manufacturer can lead to prosecution.
Some vehicles are marked either with the maximum towing weight or the maximum train weight on the manufacturer's plate.
Otherwise the information will be found in the vehicle handbook.
