All drivers who passed a car test before 1 January 1997 retain their existing entitlement to tow trailers until their licence expires. This means they are generally entitled to drive a vehicle and trailer combination up to 8.25 tonnes MAM. They also have entitlement to drive a minibus with a trailer over 750kgs MAM.

I never ever knew this until today.
Its quite annoyed me, i dont know why though, I dont want to tow a trailer really.
Do drivers before 97 automatically come from a generation of natural born trailer drivers then?
