Right then Harry. So, without a handy weighbridge to get your kerbweight how do you work out your 85%? This confusing nonsense is precisely why the law was simplified to work by trainweight and maximum towing capacity. This 85% grey fluffy stuff is someone’s ‘helpful advice’. Let’s just stick to how the law is then it saves folks getting tied up in guesswork.
