Trailers & 'BWSOW's

[DRM]

It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Brexit.

MOTs will not be next either. IF we go down that route, registration will come first.

What do you think the DVLA have set up?......A system to register trailers & issue an individual number plate! next it'll be all trailers have to be registered, then it'll be all trailers will need to have an MOT, it won't be next month, it won't be next year or the year after that, but it will happen, this is just like when they moved BIK tax on company cars from being mileage based, to being emissions based, then lo & behold, a few years later car VED was priced on emissions, with some people getting quite a shock after calling for Gas Guzzling 4x4's to pay more VED, then getting their Ford Mondeo clobbered with a higher VED rate, and it's also an unintended consequence of Brexit, as in the rest of Europe, all trailers over 750Kg laden, must be registered, the U.K had a special dispensation to have the number plate of the towing vehicle displayed on the trailer, we're no longer in the E.U, that dispensation has gone, a quick google shows that France, Germany, Spain & Poland have to have an annual MOT type inspection, in Italy it's for trailers over 3500Kg, so you can see where this will end up, MOT's in the UK for Trailers, watch this space

But we sent in the EU so we don't have to follow their rules.
If you trail over to the continent then fair enough..

Another ‘tip run’ this morning

The green box went in the boot

I forgot l’d put a couple of concrete slabs in it, & almost ruptured myself taking it out of the garage/dropping onto the ball hitch

Having sat in the garage unused for years, our utility trailer is now in almost constant use. Two factors have driven this:

1. My parents moved house this week and the trailer was used extensively in the run-up and on the day to move stuff.

2. My daughter bought a horse a couple of months ago so the trailer is used regularly for collecting hay and straw bales from local feed merchants.

I was on the verge of selling it due to lack of use and being in the way, but it is now invaluable.

It's currently only if you travel in Europe, in the U.K it's business as usual, we had special dispensation to use the tow vehicles reg number, but that has now expired, these things do seem to have a habit of escalating, after being introduced quietly
