)You can only use an A frame to recover a broken down vehicle.
Therefore the broken down vehicle should have insurance and mot and tax (If applicable) to have been on the road in the first place.
It is not a means to transport a vehicle.
A proper car transporter trailer is only about £50 per day, hire one and do it legally and most important safely.
Those cars are generally aygo's & smart cars (under 750kg) so fall into the unbraked trailer classThank for the reply, Yo see a lot of motohomes towing small cars on A frames. I was thinking about taking my series to a few shows,
I honestly don’t know the answer. But surely an A frame is an A frame regardless of the weight. Also the MAM if any of those cars will exceed 750kg. The kerb weight probably does in most cases too.Those cars are generally aygo's & smart cars (under 750kg) so fall into the unbraked trailer class

Biggest unbraked trailer you can tow is 750kg,
The devices you see used to tow small cars behind motorhomes are rigged in such a way that the brakes of the towed vehicle are applied when the towing vehicle brakes.
They are then classed as a braked trailer & depending on weights you will need the appropriate licence.
