In the UK, if you passed your car driving test on or after 1 January 1997 you can now tow a trailer up to 3,500 kg MAM with a standard category B licence: the rules changed in December 2021 and the separate car-and-trailer (B+E) test is no longer required. Drivers who passed before 1 January 1997 usually keep grandfather rights for larger combinations. As a stability guide, less experienced drivers are advised to keep the loaded caravan weight to no more than about 85% of the car kerbweight. Always check the V5C logbook and the manufacturer plate for the exact limits before hitching up.
