Thank you.

Licence dont use unladen weights.

They use MAM.

Yes I do realise that. The reply was in response to a statement that the truck was 3.5t unladen, when it isn't.

Our government never cease to amaze me with their incompetence.

It was just a few years ago I'd have just assumed that some very clever people knew exactly what they were doing... How naive was I

What changed on 16 December 2021​

If you passed your car driving test from 1 January 1997, you’re now allowed to tow trailers up to 3,500kg MAM.

DVLA will update your driving licence record to show that you’re allowed to tow trailers. You’ll get category BE added to your driving licence when you get a new photocard driving licence.

Do not need to contact DVLA for this to happen. It will be done automatically.

If you passed your car driving test before 1 January 1997, you are not affected by the change.

Try looking up commodity codes for customs. Obviously dreamt up by civil servants around the World with no clue.
Why is there a different code for a screw or bolt for example? And technically when you ship a toilet you need different codes for the seat and handle as well
I hate the civil service mandarins with a passion - over a million people employed to interfere in other people's lives.

First miatake, you assumed, never assume anything hence the lawful and legal maxim of non assumpsit.

Undoubtedly there were some very clever people who knew exactly what they were doing, they just didn't work for the Government though.

Non assumpsit doesn’t mean anything to do with assumptions!! I really wish you would stop spouting legal mumbo jumbo - whenever you post something it’s like Del Boys french - sounds fancy but has no relation to what you think it means

“Non Assumpsit is a Latin tern which means he did not undertake. It is an archaic pleading form of a general denial in an action of assumpsit. It is a form of pleading in which the defendant claims that s/he did not undertake or promise any obligation in the manner or form set forth in the plaintiff's complaint”

Well I won’t lie, I wasn’t expecting it to go through. Finally some sensible rules

 

[daleyd]

Yet another topic you know nothing about, but are prepared to spout your dismissive rhetoric about with dubuious foundations.

Bonnet de douche, as they say in legal circles.

 

[Jacktegla]

Very happy now I can use this finally. Yay !!!
