Undecided ,What thoughts NOW on the use of " A " frames in Europe ,now that we are different ? ? Will the 'homogolation laws change ?? Will our DVLA decsission be respected ?? Can we tow as a 'trailer ?? NOT on a trailer !! ( Not that it concerns me now ,just asking ) .Surprised.

    As with everything else you follow the laws of the country you are driving through. If they say No A Frames then it's No A Frames. They also have different speed limits which you have to obey just the same. If you don't then you get fined .. Simple really.

    the law in (say) Spain says its illegal to tow an A frame.....

    the UK withdrawing from the EU will do nothing to change that position so i wouldnt hold your breath....Undecided

    The law in this country says no towed vehicle in the overtaking lane on UK motorways , tell that to the M/van with car on a frame  that passed us on the A1 last Monday?at well over 60mph
