![]() Has anyone used a towing dolly to transport to the IVA test ? Seen these plans on Ebay looks fairly simple after building a Chassis

![]() I'll stand to be corrected but something tells me a dolly is only legal if used for roadside recovery or some such waffle.

![]() Might be ok. Two wheeled drive cars can legally tow 60% of their kerbside weight four wheel drive are 100% of kerbside weight. Trailers dont need to be braked untill they are over 750kg, so in theory providing you comply with the rest of the towing blurb you should just about be all right. best to check all of this out because I am old and stupid.

![]() Sorry to s a y it Bob but your last sentence is the only one close to the truth (only joshing pal, couldn't resist it :-) ).
Towing dollies are only legal for recovery to a safe place not for transport of vehicles. D.

![]() If the combined trailer + load is under 750KG then it can be unbraked and used over any distance, if over then it must be braked. Good dollys are braked and suitable for long distance towing. Generally dollies are misused.
Rember also that if you passed your test after Jan 1997, you can't tow anything over 750KG without doing a trailer test. TT
