Correct answer
exceeds 750 kg.
The classification of trailers according to their maximum authorised mass (MAM) distinguishes two main categories: light trailers and non-light trailers. A light trailer is one whose MAM does not exceed 750 kg. This means that the maximum load, including the weight of the trailer, that they can transport without requiring special authorisation or complying with additional regulations is up to 750 kg. By contrast, non-light trailers, with an MAM exceeding 750 kg, are larger and require more robust vehicles for towing, as well as compliance with stricter regulations because of their greater load capacity and total weight.
