Question is not in this kind of forum but i hope i will get an answer.

So if i have a car lice (b category) can i tow with my car a trailer with two axles and put on it other car???

Caus from where i am u can tow a trailer with your car just up to 500kg and if u need to tow something biger u need to have BE category. But as well in my coutry trailers need to have own registration with number plate and has to have nct for trailer.

Strictly speaking I don't think you can. You need a car and trailer licence, EB licence I think. But from my experience the law isn't enforced. Builders, farmers all tow trailers and I'd say the vast majority don't have the correct licence to do so

I thought it as well. Farmers are ok in the county it's not so many gards. But sometimes i have to go to bigger city centre and the chance that i will be in gards eye much biger. Ahhh need to get that license.

It's an unusual problem for here but I don't think you're covered for that !

As far as I know u can tow a trailer no more than 750kg depending on your vehicle. But I think there's a few loopholes in there. Suppose to be a major crack down on it. That's what the the truck cpc trainer was telling us back a few months ago. I know a couple of lads that the guads stopped. They had to go home and get their tractor to bring the trailer home from the mart

The law in ireland about car and trailers are crazy. Like in my country if i have EB licence i can put on fiesta 2 tones trailer and tow it. Ofcourse if the conection between trailer and car will be proper and trailer will be registred and with nct.

How i see in ireland u don't need a registration for trailer just put your own car number plate and go. I think need to stop to guards and ask them thanks for info.
