Nope.. But be aware if the weight of the car + truck is more than 3.5tonnes you will be breaking the law and the fine is a monster.

Depends what the vehicle is plated to. If its plated over 3.5t then you can't even drive it empty unless you get a C1 entitlement.

Same reason I can't drive an artic tractor, they physically come in around 6-7t and I have C1 so can drive 7.5t but they're usually plated to 18 or 26t depending on how many axles they have.

Also, if you're using it commercially you'll need an operator licence.

Never really see them with the MGW re-classified as its such a ball ache..

And sadly most are over weight with a car on the back.
