    what way do they work when you have a lowered car with a uras bumper .... would you trust them at 70mph .....
    it s hard to beat the car transporter with a few rachet straps beating down the motorway

    Anything over 750kg on tow is illegal with a full B Licence.

    So back to the drawing board guys.
    Would that not be the case towing a car transporter too

    i have 1 of those have towed vans jeeps sierras granadas all types of cars they are brill yoke but there is a down side with towing a 4x4 its hard to stop it from tearing cv joints and if car is very low it will damage the bumper has car will be bouncing up and down following the road now the worst bit, towing a car with a welded diff is very dangerous as the towed car wants to go straight when your turning 1 jack knifed on friend of mine an wrecked the quarter panel of the tower car.. its like a tractor with diff lock on dosnt want to turn so wouldnt recommend it if car been towed has welded diff....
