Towing a car

[Mobilvetta]

My pals driving licence has the code BE on his licence, he past his test in 1961 but lost his C1 licence when he turned 70. His motorhome is 3500kG loaded, can he also tow his braked trailer behind this with the type of license he still has or would it take him over the limit. I'm reading that 3500 is the maximum MAM with a BE code.

My understanding is that older drivers retain their towing rights even if they let C1 lapse. Best he check the .gov site https://www.gov.uk/towing-rules

Thanks I have just been on the GOV site and checked for him and it confirms what you have said.

We took the car with us earlier in the year when we headed for Devon. SWMBO just followed me in our car. Certainly saved buying something to tow and all the agro associated with it. If they are heading further afield then electric bikes work well.
