Flatbed truck or trailer south wales - sillywotsit1993 - 11-12-2013
In need transport 306 just after christmas a distance of around 20miles Shipley want to charge me 70quid. There's got to be a cheaper way. Newport area south wales

Realistically its not an unfair price, wages for the time to load it up and unload it as well as getting there and home, fuel, wear and tear on the truck and comission for shipley its not terrible
Is the car otherwise road legal? have you considered joining the AA and getting towed home (think youd need relay for a more than 10mile tow)

20miles aint all that far...late night tow?!
it will take longer to load and unload it that to drive the 20miles!

If you tow it on a solid bar it classed as a trailer but late night toe no one will c

It's in rogiet atm and it'll be going to abercarn I don't drive at the moment funding got low due to baby so this is my little project. It doesn't have to be moved till after Christmas

Just buy a straight bar. I got mine from Screw-fix. Under £20 as well.
RE: Flatbed truck or trailer south wales - sillywotsit1993 - 12-12-2013
I would do that but then I don't know anybody with a tow bar lmao
Looking into things online you can't tow a vehicle on a straight bar unless its t&t as its classed as diving a motor vehicle
arghh sonmuch hassle

Its not cos you still need a driver in the car to stop and steer. Only once its on an A frame is it classed as a trailer.

That's what I read
RE: Flatbed truck or trailer south wales - mikey b - 12-12-2013
Have you tried to hire a trailer if you have somet to tow it with some places hire them out fairly cheap

This is only what I was told by a cop once so that's wrong

Put plates of an identical car on it...
I have never done this.
RE: Flatbed truck or trailer south wales - sillywotsit1993 - 12-12-2013
Lmfao identical plates seems like more hassle.
