Hi I have just been told by the owner/trader of TowBars 2 TowCars Near Grimsby that since the A Frames he sells are marked as CE approved I can (as a visitor, not a resident in France or Germany) tow a my car in those countries for up to 6 Months.
He said the CE directive (not EU laws) allows travellers from one country to drive/use any vehicles/trailers & A Frames which are legally on the road in their own country for up to 6 months in any other country that has signed up to the CE directive.
He did add that since Spain had not signed up to the CE directive that I could not use it in over there.
He also commented that EU law is not the controlling thing with respect to A Frames, its the CE directive that matters...
Is he breaking British law saying things that are not true to prospective buyers of his A Frames ?????
