legal towing regs
LOFTY:
RRB, all 4 wheels on the car where applied, therefore legal, as it acts as a trailer, but the main reason for being 100% legal, the little Fiat i believe was below 750 kg empty, so in actual fact, didnt require brakes at all. But my father still had the special adaptor fitted.
Range Rover Blues:
Nope, I don't think so, It's below 750kg MAM, not unladen and the braking system has to comply with the 1986 C&U regulations which it does not. Be very careful with this sort of thing, the only time anyone looks very hard at it will be when the insurance company is trying to get out of paying up.

Crikey :shock: I thought mine was heavy! you'd better check that as the manufacturer's MAM is also legally enforceable.
I'm interested in the policeman's interpretation of the rules, as strictly speaking your buggy is not legal as a trailer (see above) so what year was the buggy built/registered as this does have a bearing on whether the C&U regs apply.
blackbob:
:( according to the EU you cant use a frames cos all vehicles are over 750kg but the AA do it all the time and they have a brake system for over rum but it never works properly and it still dont meet EU regs. I also have been a framing for 20+years and never been stoped i have towed my beach buggy and my series three all be it behind a dodge s56 bus and i will be towing my rangie on an a frame also

Noticed the AA use rigid straight bars a lot now, for local removal though, then call a transporter for removal
