    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....

    Oh God I cant answer all of the above posts.

    But put it this way.

    I have a licence to drive up to an 18 tonne Rigid truck. Because i passed a test.

    Funny that because I dont have one to drive my Dads Jeep with a trailer. lol.

    But when I was 16 I got a licence that allowed me to drive a tractor at 60kms/hr with no particular weight limit.

    Figure that out sensibly. ?

    Irish laws are proper COCK.



    FACT.

    I think it's worth the risk until i get up the funds to buy a trailor.
    Sure the guards hardly know the laws regarding these either I'm sure if you were nice to them ya could talk your way out of it
