Default Towing a Car with no MOT/Tax----------

How does the law stand about towing a car with a rigid bar when it has no MOT or Tax????

Also is there any other way to get a car home that isnt covered??

i used a tow bar to tow my RSTurbo home, as it was stored for 4yrs so no tax etc etc, the tow bar snapped 10miles after picking it up and sent the passenger door into my rear bumper, so after that i gave my car to Tony (who was steering the RS) and just drove the fookin thing home 65miles with a big fook off dent in the door (PS if it wernt for bad luck i deffo wouldnt have any at all )
