My car has a hole in the towing brackets which is designed for the break away cable.  I have NOT been using this because I believe that the break away cable should be looped over the towball and hooked back on itself and that to clip direct to my bracket
would not be legal.

With a detachable towball the most likely way my car & caravan will part company is the ball falling off so I would realy like to hook on to the bracket.

I don't understand how clipping the cable back on itself is any different to hoking directly to the car, the clip & the cable would be doing exactly the same job in both situations.

Any current thoughts on this topic??
