Tony. You need to do your B + E Test and if you want to drive the larger goods vehicles above 3500kg you will need to take your C1 class. Unfortunately your stuck but there is light at the end of the Tunnel ! I am trailing James car to Eddies on Sat 28th, I am sure we could come to some kind of agreement to get the car to you if you are not coming over to Bristol. :) Regards.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Transporting a 2+2
Hi Jim Yes, to tow a bigger trailer you need to take another test if you passed your driving test after 1 Jan 97. Apparently it's a lot like your normal test but with a big trailer on the back. Don't forget that you are also limited to driving a vehicle with a maximum weight of 3500kg, so hiring a car transporter may be a problem as well! Here's a couple of handy websites if you have lots of spare time. www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roads/vehicles/vssafety/ www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLicensing/index.htm --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.

Check on the official websites as it's all getting a bit difficult/ confusing, and many places/people will not know the licensing changes that occurred then and so are happy to advise you that you CAN drive/ tow a larger vehicle when actually they're possibly wrong, it's only people with pre-1998 licenses that can do so. The wife and I have the same issue as neither of us can drive a horsebox greater than a 3.5 tonne without paying about a grand for one of us to train for a full C1 drivers license entitlement.

I'll have a hunt around see if there are any companies nearby that will hire them out ;) Cheers Simon :) On Wed, 18 Feb 2009 12:28:56 -, "Simon Musgrove-Wethey" wrote: > Re: I did note your suggestion, but it sounded a bit dodgey!

Re: I did note your suggestion, but it sounded a bit dodgey! Plus I suspect that I'd have a hard time finding a garage at both ends willing to let me use their ramp in such a fashion. I was shipping out between 4/5 cars per month using this method. We did not have a single incident where a garage refused, providing they had the access. We always put a bottle of wine in the car to say thank you as usually they did not even charge for the service but wanted to do this partially to support UK small car manufacturers but also because it was novel and different. We only ever had one time where the car was damaged and that was when we were shipping a car out to Eygpt using a large French transport company (Roland Rats Ratmobile). At the docks the lorry driver was showing off the car to his mates. Forgot to retie the straps so when he braked hard to avoid an accident the car bounced forward and broken an indicator lens. Otherwise incident free! It will be considerably cheaper and easier than any other method, but hey it's up to you.

I know I have already mentioned this, but obviously not been taken seriously, but why not just hire a 5/7 ton box lorry. It only costs £100, there’s no mileage penalty. You simply drive the car in the back using the local garages 4 poster and do the same at the other end. All these emails going back and forth talking about whether dollys are legal and getting new MOT’s etc you could have driven across the UK and back by now. This is so simple, hassle free and by far the safest, quickest and cheapest option, we used to do it all the time when shipping our cars.

I'd never heard of that, i don't think a lot of people have. So do they have to take an extra test to be able to tow a bigger trailer, caravan etc. Jim Andy Heaton wrote: > Tony > > Did you pass your driving test before Jan 1997 ? because anybody who pased > their test after this date can only tow a small box trailer upto 750kg > unbraked. > > Andy h. > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
