Title: Some people!
Post by: bezzabsa on October 10, 2006, 19:49:22: stuck behind some slow moving traffic today - nothing unusaual, until i saw what was holding us up
a Ford Transit car transporter pulling a trailer - still nothing unusual.. until you realise that on the back of the transit was a Range Rover Vogue tdv...and on the trailer ANOTHER Range Rover Vogue TDV..
now if i do my maths right thats over 4 tonnes.. being dragged by a van thats legally able to carry around 1500 kgs.....talk about overloading!!!

Van and trailer can train weight up to 7.5 tonnes, depending on the plate of the transit, and fitted tacho, would have been interesting for a traffic cop to have stopped him :?

Post by: muddyjames on October 11, 2006, 19:39:54: I was going to say 3.5tonne transits can tow more than 1500kg as my voluntary work do it all the time with box trailers. The new engined transits tow heavy loads with ease and easily forget they are behind you.
