Would it be possible to add a sticky where members can quickly copy a few lines of text and save members having to ask the same question over and over?

Car Details: make,model,year,
     (also if known kerbweight,max towing weight)
Caravan Details: make, model, year
     (also MPMTW if known)
Licence Date: Lets members know if your allowed to tow that weight.

After reading some posts i can only assume some members are using the MIRO weights when working out if their outfit is a safe match.

So much better than saying my car weighs 1500kg can i safely tow 1500kg, In some cases this will be legal and others an accident or BIG FINE waiting to happen.


Here is mine.



Car: Ford,Mondeo,2001, 2L Petrol (1421kg, 1800kg)
     
Caravan Details: Avondale, Grampian 1991 (1150kg)

Licence Date: 1985.



As you can see well within the limits even for a new driver and easy to read. Newer drivers please do not forget the trailer MPMTW must be less than your cars empty kerbweight.

Hope something allow those lines can be added.
