You're saying you don't mirror-signal-manoevre then? Or that it's perfectly alright to drive badly on a test as long as you don't hit anything?...

True. Not quite sure how to incorporate that!

Gramas, just take the test. You'll be legal and won't have to worry if you get a bigger boat.

It IS as written, but it's not an easy one to understand.

Yeah, but... All that bit of text means is that on a cat B licence you can't have a trailer that can possibly weigh more than the unladen weight of the car towing it.

For example:-
