You can take a horse to water.. but you cannot make him drink.
As I said Larry and others have this mind set if it does not say it is illegal then it is not.. WRONG.. the construction and use regs make it clear that a towed car is a trailer and that has to comply with the construction and use regs.. which they do not as the auro reversing will not work... it is a brake issue that the toad towing equipment has not overcome. It is not LEGAL to tow a toad unless you have the brake issue sorted and I suspect few if any have sorted it.
My wife said last night.. why do you bother? Yes I agree why do I bother.. soon or later there will be a proscecution and then you will start moaning that you were not warned

but most aframes in use in the uk ARE ILLEGAL BECAUSE THE BRAKES ARENT AUTO REVERSE.
THATS WHAT MAKESTHEM ILLEGAL. unless used for recovery work. there are systems that do cover the braking requirements of trailers.
