Under the Road Vehicles Construction and Use Regulations, you must:

  • not tow a load that is more than your licence permits.
  • not overload a trailer
  • secure your load
  • make sure your load does not 'stick out dangerously'

Under the Road Traffic Regulations Act:

  • you are restricted to 50mph on single carriageway roads and 60mph on dual carriageways and motorways.
  • on motorways, you must not enter the outside lane when towing.

Under the Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations, all trailers must have:

  • two red sidelights
  • two red stopping lights (brake lights)
  • two red reflective triangles
  • and illuminated number plate (that matches your vehicle and meets number plate regulations)
  • amber indicators
  • a system to let the driver know the trailer lights are functioning
