can't drive a vehicle with a trailer going by the new licence!

i noticed on my brothers.. cos he past his test years ago... that on his, he can drive car & trailer, van & trailer and 7.5tonne.

so all the new people who have passed there test recently, we can't drive with a trailer.
have to do an extra test for it!

I was led to believe if you passed your driving test after January 1997 then an additional test is required to pull a trailer.

Have a look at this link, I think it explains it well (the first paragraph)

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring...ons/DG_4022547

"The tables list the vehicle category descriptions for driving tests passed after 1 January 1997 and the minimum ages for driving them. All weights refer to maximum authorised mass (MAM) unless stated otherwise. This is the total weight of the vehicle plus the maximum load it can carry."
