Yup I'd say so, rear wheels still on the ground!

Mother T's estate has a tow bar, but needs leccy hookup. Could get that hooked up and find a trailer?

Rightly or wrongly I towed an Astra from a long way down south to home, coppers passed & didn't even give me a second glance, it had insurance but no tax or MOT. Whether they'd have acted the same if I'd been involved in an accident ...........   :-/ I just covered the tow car's reg number.  :-/

Guessing thats a No, has to be trailered?

It seems to depend on the copper.
I phoned our copshop spoke to the SGT as I was going to buy an A Frame., he told me as long as no one was in the towed car plus I had a light board in the rear window I would be fine. I did exactly that more times than I can remember with no issues at all from the Boys in Blue.
