A person holding only a Class I driver's license for ordinary motor vehicles wants to tow a camping trailer (towed vehicle) with a gross weight of 1.5 tonnes using a passenger car. Which is correct?
For a towed vehicle, the gross weights of 750 kg and 3 tonnes decide whether the license for the towing vehicle is enough or another license is also needed (Note 3 of Appendix 18 of the Enforcement Rule). Do not confuse the wrecker license, used for hauling broken-down vehicles, with the tractor licenses used for pulling trailers.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Note 3 of Appendix 18 of the Enforcement Rule, a towed vehicle of 750 kg gross weight or less may be towed with just the license for the towing vehicle. Over 750 kg up to 3 tonnes requires, in addition, a small or large tractor license, and over 3 tonnes requires a large tractor license. A 1.5-tonne trailer therefore cannot be towed with the driver's license for ordinary motor vehicles alone.
