as above could sum1 tell me the law need to know if i could tow a car with a towing bar

 

AFAIK (so may be a little off)

1) You must have someone in the car operating the brakes. (Theres apparently a new law saying you can't tow more that 750Kg ish if its unbraked)

2) Speed up to 55mph

 

Make sure you get someone you trust to tow you, last time I got towed we ended up doing over a ton down the M8

 

ageed david! my friend thought it would be funny to tow me back from the bodyshop me in his freshly painted astra him in his rover tomcat, the brakes in the astra were hardly working i.e. ok at low speed but when your being towed at 100+ just feet away from his car it aint funny nothing i could do but sit there and steer, now when he asks me and promises he wont drive like that again i know he breaks his promises...

 

Tis fucking scary aint it

Mine was in my old S2 and he was driving a 4x4 saff, must have looked funny as hell though from the outside as we overtook the traffic

 

The law states that your only allowed to tow to the next available exit off the motorway from where you broke down, if you get caught getting on the motorway you'll get fucked.........................

Says me who once got towed from Bathgate salvage auctions in Scotland to Preston in Lancashire and never dropped below about 75-80 on a rope in a Honda Accord with no windscreen in it bumper or radiator front light's of any description and a battered wing and a bonnet held down with string...............AHHHH the good old days when you could run the rozzer's to the English border and get away with it.........................
