Required on over 3.5 tons - but - is that 3.5 tons GVW or GTW?
For example, a 2-ton caravan behind a 3-ton 4x4?
Most info I see refers to lorries and coaches - so I hope it is 3.5 tons GVW - anyone know definitively?

Dunno about that but it reminds me;
when driving a LH drive car on m'ways etc in the UK I always turn the interior mirror to 'look out' the RH side windows & adjust the external door mirrors to give me a good allround view.
It's saved me some potential embarrassment on several occasions when a passing vehicle is on my outside in the RH Angle Mort.
