If you passed after 1997 then you have to take the relevant tests. I have a C+E licence but on my C1E category it has a 107 code which means I can only gross to 8250kg with a trailer attached to a 7500kg truck, I assume my C+E overrides it but I've never put it to the test. If Gordon means licence codes then our code 79 means restricted to certain classes Where are you supposed to put two plates, mine barely has room for one Last edited by Tim Falce; 12 Jan 2019 at 17:16. |

Thanks for the clarification Tim, I was wrong about the date and you're right. As you say "code 79" is restricted not it terms of weight but of class, the vehicle must be registered or modified as a "camping car".
I guess its the right moment for you to adopt any rule you want, how the EU could put a veto on that? |

BTW, Anyone got their IDP yet? RAC is the best route.

‘From February 1st International Driving Permits will only be issued by post offices.’
That from the RAC website.... https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/travel/d...ts-and-brexit/ |

Although it’s got nowt to do with trailer registrations, to expand on the last post, at the moment the AA and RAC, plus 89 post offices, can issue IDPs, but from Feb 1st they will be obtainable only by visiting any post office. They will not be available by post or online...
Cost £5.50, valid 12 months, and apparently will be a straightforward issuing process..... |

I guess we'll have to satisfy the same thing when driving in your country betting on our Permis de Conduire International to be no more recognized. If its a matter of reciprocity it would make sens.

They reckon a 5 minute process to get one over the counter, but that’s when you’ve reached the counter! As our local PO is now 2 tiny booths squeezed into the corner of a convenience store, and the queue usually blocks most of the aisles, I think allowing at least 1/2 hr probably wise. And then it will need the individual the other side of the counter to know how the process works....
So, absolutely nothing to go wrong! |

Mike, I don't think that it will be all P.O.s. This from UK.GOV website:

Mike, apologies for for a little O T but thought it relevant to driving abroad.
The RAC on line I thought the better option, you can specify France Belgium and Germany. Usually the IDP applies to countries like Spain etc. Its all explained on the form. |

Mike, you mean we have more than 2500 P.O.s? Apologies for my inaccuracy- the post office site didn’t suggest not all of them would be involved. |

If I remember correctly I read somewhere that we might need two different types of IDP depending on which European country one intends to drive in, as the EU hasn't got around to ensuring all members have the same affiliations.....

Form what I’ve read- That’s already the case, Richard. It’s never simple!

That's why I commented on not forgetting France Belgium and Germany going on the form. Usually IDP applies for Spain and those countries nearby.

Reading through the latest on RAC site, the only way you can get an IDP from them (before they cease issuing them) is by dating your travel as being before Feb1st. If you date it later, you won’t get a licence.

Going back to trailer registration, I found this, which is far more informative than the DVLA blurb. Note it was supposed to commence last Nov!

Latest from DVLA by email is-
‘At this stage’ they are only looking to register trailers being used for commercial use. They are ‘currently live testing’ the registration service for commercial trailers, and I will be contacted within 2 working days with information on how to register and ‘when they’d like me to register’........ They also mention that registration will be through the ‘Government Gateway’ website, which is same as used for tax stuff. Watch this space for more exciting news! |

Well, surprise surprise, I now have a trailer registration number, and have been relieved of £26 for the privilege. Stress again that it is ONLY COMMERCIAL USE TRAILERS OVER 750kg that can be registered at this time.
Just have to get a plate made up- hopefully the suppliers will have the necessary info! Some last minute changes- Plate was going to be white letters on black, but now black letters on white.... Plate was going to be oblong, but they're now saying square.... A 231mm x 164mm motorcycle size plate apparently can be used. Doesn't need to be reflective material, but will supplier have non reflective white? Doesn't need illumination. |

Do not need illumination now? Bright idea!
I can't find the words to tell you that our motorcycles plates must be… 21 x 13 centimeters, in your words…… 8.26771 x 5.11811 inches! Out of taxes. Just a matter of reflexion! |
