Towing - is it legal

(1/2) > >>

robbie:
I am looking at towing a 1984 LR 90 to sites using a dolly.

Is it legal to tow it without MOT, Tax and insurance (I think it is). I do have a license to tow

Secondly, is it legal to use these dolly's in France. The car is in the middle of France at the moment and i wanna bring it over here to use off road.

The MOT ran out about 18 months ago so driving it back is not an option.

Mash:
In a word NO..

The towed vehicle must be fully taxed tested and insured to be on a dolly or a-frame IIRC

A trailer saves a lot of grief

robbie:
The guy selling the dolly states that it is legal.....

mmhh, most odd that one, is it DEFINATELY illegal?? I dont have the room for a trailer but I do for a 90 without one :(

mike142sl:
You can hire trailers for such tasks. It would be a wise move if in doubt.

landroverkeith:
I thought all dollys are illegal now unless they're braked?
