How many vehicles is it permitted to tow by a commercial vehicle with an all up weight exceeding 2,200 kg?
- Two vehicles.
- Correct answer: One vehicle, unless approved otherwise by the Licensing Authority.
- Only a tractor is permitted to tow another vehicle. A small commercial vehicle is prohibited to do so.
- There is no restriction on the number of vehicles that can be towed.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: One vehicle, unless approved otherwise by the Licensing Authority.
A commercial vehicle with an all up weight over 2,200 kg may tow only one vehicle. Towing several vehicles at once makes a long, unstable combination that is hard to brake and control, endangering other road users. Towing more than one is allowed only with special approval from the Licensing Authority, so there is no free choice of two, three or unlimited vehicles.
