Hi Everyone I have a properly designed towing bar (Clarke I think) & have used it a couple of times to help friends broken down without any problems. I want to use it to scrap a car I have that's an MOT failure. But it's sat on my drive for over a year. (The Honda Accord in question only has a defective ABS system, but its old, dented & uneconomic to repair.) Can I tow this car to a local approved scrapyard without any special insurance? I know that my car is the same weight (actually identical model) but surely that is not illegal with a fixed length towing bar? Will an "ON TOW" board at the back be sufficient? Or am I supposed to secure my trailer board to the back of the scrap car?
Local scrap agents may offer me =A360 when I can get double that if I tow it myself. A quick scan of the Police national FAQ's has not revealed any potential offence, but could me doing the towing (instead of a local scrappie) give rise to any potential offence?
Good idea or bad idea?
Thanks.
