legal towing regs
Range Rover Blues:
Interstingly, I heard today that when the SORN regs were introduced it became impossible to class anything with an engine as a trailer.......
As for the AA, there is a provision in the law to 'bend' the rules if recovering a break-down to a place of safety.
blackbob:
:D if you buy a vehicle with a sorn on it you can tow it as the sorn is invalid when you change ownership
Range Rover Blues:
I think you missed my point, if it has an engine it must be taxed under the SORN rules whereas before it couold be counted as a trailer.
adaward:
Ahh. yes, engines in a vehicle. the first cop said it was a mechanically propelled vehicle and must be road legal (tax etc). the buggy has never been regestered. never been on the road, not designed for the road, i think this may be where my buggy escapes the law a bit. and becomes a trailer. the police man in authority came back with what i said before. also my towing rangy weighs almost 3 ton now, which helps towing a buggy less than 2 ton. cannot comment on ex road cars.
Range Rover Blues:
So it could be that your buggy isn't really a car at all, I wouoldn't like to put it to the test though, you're lucky in having a copper you can go back to.
As for your Rangie, are you sure it weighs that much, if so you have a problem there, the manufactuer's MAM is legally engorceable, and it's 2 1/2 tonne for a Rangie.
