2 people have now posted a link to the same website now but there is NO code 7 listed hence ROG’s 7 or 107 question.
Karl 67, where did you get that information from?
karl67:
It’s 7 Rog.
Not possible - it has to be 107
Total plated MAM/GVW of combination not more than 8250 kg
examples
7.5 tonne GVW + 750 kg plated MAM trailer
6.0 tonne GVW + 2250 MAM trailer
5.0 tonne GVW + 3250 MAM trailer
So is 7 a really old code that has been superceded by 107 and the drivers licence has not been renewed for a long time?
Put ya glasses on Jenny then you’ll realise that its code 01…lol eyesight correction

Karl 67, where did you get that information from?
