a A FRAME is only for recoverey to a safe place plus the car/van being towed needs to be road legal.
lots of people use them and get away with it but that dont make it right

The purpose of this was to get the van from Northampton to Reading and try to encourage people to help.If anything this is doing everything to try and discourage those that might want to help.Those that wish to read up on the towing laws can do so I`m sure with a little help directing them to "view topics"elsewhere hint.
Perhaps we need to change the topic title to "volunteer needed to transport 6 wheeler from Northampton to Reading".
Al right we should chat about this under a different post but a servo only provides assistance the force from the brake mechanism doesnt need a servo as it's got 1600kgs of van behind it as the brake works off the over run just like a caravan - where as a human pushing the brake needs the assistance from the servo as they can't push hard enoughmaycontainnuts wrote:And unless the engine is running you have no servo assistance so the brakes are not working as they are designed.That is why the AA/RAC stoped using them as VOSA was going to prosicute them .
