Am I allowed to pull a trailer on a normal driving licence or do I need another licence?

If you passed Jan 1997 onwards you'll need another test.

Im guessing that because he was born in 1987 the answer will be no you cannot, and yes you would need to do another test

From the DVLA link posted above.
quote:

Category B vehicles may be coupled with a trailer up to 750kgs MAM (allowing a combined weight up to 4.25 tonnes MAM) OR a trailer over 750kgs MAM provided the MAM of the trailer does not exceed the unladen weight of the towing vehicle, and the combination does not exceed 3.5 tonnes MAM.

It's Valentines day. Wouldn't you prefer to pull a nice bird instead?
