My understanding of the legal position is that its still a car,and needs to be road legal if the wheels are on the road.

[MR MISTER]

Put it on ya A-frame remove towed cars plates,put light board with towing cars number plate on. The towed car is now a trailer. Dosnt need a test or owt.

Are you sure? I wouldn't want Albs to get into trouble.....

[biggriffin]

Nope its being towed,its connected to the towing car.
A car has to be legal if its being "driven under its own power"

Hotel21 to general chat please.

Thought A Framing was no longer legal for towing 'Off The Road Cars'. breakdown or recovery only now?

Do have a mate with a VW Transporter Albs, but not spoken to him for a year or so, do you want me to ask the question?

[biggriffin]

Towed many a car,van never had a problem.

[biggriffin]

If you are worried then contact your lokal nick and ask to speak to somebody in traffic.

We have been here before, with a rope / rigid bar the car must be legal and insured, but I am not sure about a fixed A Frame...........

Me too,but not half way around the M25.If your not legal a camera or similar is more than likely going to nab you there.

[Broomies Mate]

I'm with Grif here.

Assuming the car has 4 legal tyres, no sharp edges and is reasonably clean, you wont get a tug.

Provided you have a trailer board, all functioning lights and your Number Plate displayed at the rear, why would anyone question it?





Just stay below 90MPH!

Any time Ive tried that previously they invariably knew less than I did. Usually goe more accurate info on here ime.

[Broomies Mate]

Call VOSA, they will give you the right answers!

They won't know either .... been there & done that.

Some places are adamant that it's legal, others are as adamant it's not. On the occasions I've towed a car on an A frame, I've taped over the number plates & added a trailer board to the back of it.

[albitz]

Next question - If I did tow it on the A frame, are they going to let me take it through the Dartford tunnel ?
Might hve to ring and ask them.
