There is an 80 year old guy here at "Marjal"... who was stopped twice on his trip down through Spain...
He and his wife speak good Spanish... When pulled regarding towing their car (Berlingo) on an "A" frame they stood their ground and said they are "LEGAL"....
And got his license out and pointed to the section on the back alongside C1E... which is a picture of a "Lorry & Trailer"... and said he was classed as a Lorry...
Anyway to cut a long story short, showing his license and that section he was waved on his way... much to the disgruntled Police..
Without a fine or anything..
Which if you look at your license and the C1E entitlement I had no reason to not believe him..
He said over the last few years and all the time he has been coming to Spain for the winter.. this is not the first time he has been pulled and used this arguement...
C1E = You are permitted to pull a (Toad) on an "A" frame as it is classed as a braked trailer.. and shows on your license as such and is legal in any country...
As said dont shoot the messenger..
