Registering your TOAD (towed car) as a trailer (as recommended by one leading a-frame supplier) is now, officially, illegal. The DfT have issued an amendment to The Trailer Registration Regulations 2021 which states (3) After regulation 4(7), insert— “(8) In paragraph (1), “trailer” does not include a trailer that is a mechanically propelled vehicle.”. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2021/1043/made
Yesterday, I also received an email from the DfT confirming that existing trailer registrations made in this manner will be cancelled by the DVLA. The applicants will lose their £26 fee. #TowLegal #TowSafe #TowSafe4Freddie
