Henny 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Supercharged, since when? :crazyeyes: I'm supposed to be towing my G60 home this week and I've only got a rope... :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve_16v 0 Posted January 30, 2006 Think that law came into force last year, I reckon you could get away with using a rope as long as it's not being towed very far, or on the motorway. If the feds do stop you, do what Walesy said ... plead ignorance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gibber 0 Posted January 31, 2006 As far as I knew towing of any means is for recovery only, you can only tow on a motorway to recover a vehical and you must get off at the first junction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
