Actually, if you want to get fussy, there's a third set of restrictions that make it even more confusing!
The drivers license itself dictates what can and cannot be driven or towed.
Using Ontario as an example; a person with a normal car license (Class G) can legally tow 2 trailers behind a pickup with commercial plates (black & white).
They CANNOT however tow 2 trailers behind the same basic vehicle if it is say a Suburban with passenger (blue & white) plates.
Now here's where it gets REALLY silly, a driver in a commercially-plated pickup instantly losses the right to tow 2 trailers at a time if they UPGRADE their license to a restricted class A (Class AR) license.
Only the Goobermint could get something that simple so screwed up!!
