Having been told so many conflicting reports regarding tacho’s , operators licences, 6 weekly vehicle checks etc., I really do need some professional advice on what would be the most suitable vehicle for my personal transport needs.

I am currently looking at a single flat bed Car Transporter also a Recovery Vehicle both are similar HGV Revenue weight at 5250 KG gross and are both are fitted with recovery winches.

The use of the vehicle would be to transport my own car to car events; there is no financial reward involved.

I currently hold a license with a category C1 and don’t really want to have all the hassle of a goods operators licence and using a tacho so what would be the best kind of vehicle to buy ?

The Car Transporter or the Recovery Vehicle ?

I would really appreciate and value your reply,

Many thanks
