Interesting thread to read. I too have an A frame which I have used only twice but it now appears to be redundant. I know my HGV class 1 license gives me certain “grandfather rights” with size and weights of vehicles and trailers.
Where it falls down is with towing capacity of the the towing vehicle and ensuring there is a braking system in place on the towed vehicle to comply with the law.
I would agree there is a gap that needs to be filled with a legal case where the regulations will be tested and therefore a precedent be set. Until then many people will interpret the law to suit their need.
Not sure if I should sell the A frame but then I could possibly justify using it to recover a broken down vehicle?
Personally I have breakdown cover and always will. Having said that on the few occasions I’ve been towed by the AA/RAC it’s been by solid bar or 2 wheeled dolly. All the braking was by the recovery vehicle.
