Title: Goodbye EXUPNUT
Post by: ChristoT on 06 September 2013, 12:12:57 pm
Bye Exup.

It's going to be sad not seeing you on the road anymore. I'm sure you'll miss the rideouts, maybe even miss your job?  :eek

Well, enjoy the pedestrian life!

To those confused by this post: Exupnut told me he was sending his licence back to the DVLA when I passed my car driving test. Time for him to send it off, I passed this morning!!  :lol :lol :lol

And for Nick Crisp:

 :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Just because.  ;)

Well done, you've just got me thinking, don't you need a separate test to tow a trailer with a car? Does this apply to bikes as well, even though you don't have a bike now :pokefun . Only thinking like.

I had to do a seperate car and trailer test in 2001, B+E, but im led to believe that they've changed it again since then so that people can drive with a trailer up to a certain size, i havent actually bothered looking it up though.The silly thing is though that its actually more tricky with a small trailer.

No, it means he can now legally sit in the trailer and drive the bike from the back  :lol

I will be allowed to tow trailers >1 metric ton on my current license when I get it back from DVLA.
Title: Re: Goodbye EXUPNUT
Post by: Dead Eye on 07 September 2013, 12:47:11 pm
I think you mean < 1 :P Just to be pedantic ;)

The 1 is on the larger side of the equality sign which means it is the larger of the two values - the other value being the weight of the trailer. Therefore 1 ton is greater than the weight of the trailer ;)

I know what I meant, and I know what I wrote.

I also know I wrote that on my phone, and suspect I am still a bit shitfaced. Looking back, 4 (LARGE) shots of Sambuca at 5am wasn't such a great idea...

No, you're not trying hard enough. If you really want to be pedantic, you'd have said:
 
I think you mean < 1 metric tonne.
 
Keep practicing  :lol

When metric, it's a TON:

To be clear Cristo, you can tow a trailer up to 1750Kg as long as the car doing the towing is heavier than the trailer and the total of the two is less than 3500Kg (assuming you got an English licence)

Lots of people get confused over the B+E bit. With B+E you can go up to 3500 on the car/van and then add the trailer but with the B part only its the weights above though until recently it was 3500 for the car and another 750Kg for the trailer.

The way they build those Volvos, I'm not so sure! Best thing I've ever seen was a competition at a rally where you had to cut up a Volvo and post it bit by bit through a letterbox  :lol
 
Oh God, Christo in a Volvo  :eek :eek :eek :eek :eek :groan
