A bars

[blackbob]

went to dvla in brighton today and asked about A bars
they didnt know about if its legal or not but said that
the vehicle that is being towed must be road legal and if it sorn
then you cant tow it or put a single tyre on the public hiway
so looking for a cheap trailer now
also sent a e mail to vosa to find out if they are legal awaiting reply

Our local office said car is legally parked whilst SORN if one wheel is off ground ???
Cant believe it myself but worth checking ? :?
I knew it had to be legal to be towed.
A-Frames are for emergency recovery !
Got them side steps on yet ???

If there is nobody steering it, its not a car its a trailer that looks like a car so therefore can be sorn and have no MOT?  Im thinking aloud really, im not at all sure about that!  I am pretty sure though that as a trailer that is unbraked and over 750kg it is illegal.  The exception to this rule is for emergency recovery, not sure a trip to pay and play would count!

:D yep side steps on with no prob used loads of wd40 on body mount bolts and fitted them in 45 min including coffee break


and i have always used a bars for towing offroaders but they keep changing the rules and i know many others that use them to
expect i will still use mine for a while yet and hope i dont get stopped by a copper who knows the law and if i do i hope i can blag my way out of a ticket
