when a vehicle that could meet the definition of dual-purpose arrives to be tested, but you don’t know the LADEN weight, class it as a dual-purpose vehicle and test it as class 4 if the displayed design gross weight is less than 3,500kg

If you don't know the LADEN weight use the dgw plate, if less than 3500kg, test as class 4

surely the dgw IS the max laden weight

It looks to me to be the same rules we've always had.

	You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

No, a Navara is a pickup which sneaks into class IV by virtue of having four wheel drive.
A crossover is something which wants to be a Land Cruiser when it grows up.

what we used to refer to as softroaders or Chelsea tractors.some of them puddles on the way to your local primary in hampstead can be absolutely treacherous....4x4 is an absolute must under those sorta treacherous conditions,how else are you gonna block the zig zag lines outside the said school/intimidate other road users into mounting the kerb to avoid you as you barrel thru a gap that's too small at 50mph WITHOUT summat that's 20ft long 10ft wide and 3tonnes?how are you supposed to navigate those sorta conditions without sitting 6 foot in the air cos you cant drive worth a sh1t?class 7?special needs class is more like it....

Totally agree Rob. I live in rural Devon and had a very good friend who lived in Richmond.
So why did I see WAY more big 4wd's in Richmond than I do at home? I always said if I lived somewhere like Richmond I'd have a Fiat Panda, not a Range Rover!

About 8 miles North East of Crediton. I know Exeter well and Plymouth fairly well but, to be honest, I don't get out much!

as an addendum we had dvsa in Monday signing one of our guys off,they informed me that dodge rams(you know,the ones that are plated for 4-5 ton!)are dual purpose unless your gear aint big enuff or its too heavy in which case refuse to test.didnt see fit to enlighten me as to the reason why despite repeated requests for same.....no chance on gods green earth are those fooking things under 2040kg,the frigging powertrain weighs more than that!
