wwwd Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'd assume so, since it will be on the road. Same goes for road tax and MOT as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EscortNreg Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 just been asked about it if a car is being towed does the car being towed have to be insured my personal opinion is yes unless its on a dolly of some sort anyone any ideas I called the police enquiry line and asked the exact question (also if the person in the rear car had to have a driving licence) And they said they really didnt know, they gave me there number and said it should be ok to do but if i get pulled then to give them his number and explaine what he had said,....

noah_swann Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 if any of the vehicles wheels touch the floor then yes it does technically need insurance reminds me of something from the other week, a friend of my mums has a guy in her avenue who had an old jag [arked on the road, that had no MOT, tax or insurance the DVLA lot came round to try and clamp it but couldnt get one on for some reason or other, off they go leaving him a note on the screen to which he puts the vehicle on to an old knackered trailer and has been there ever since! nothing can be done over it as none of the wheels are on the ground so is in effect a trailer in itself! had to admire the quick thinking at least!

Danzetec Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 If your towing it on a rope or a bar then the vehicle will need to be insured / taxed and moted (dayinsure.com if you just need the insurance bit) and the person in tow will need a license If its on a dolly or spec lift then the car becomes a trailer, there is nobody steering the towed vehicle and a trailer board is fitted the the back of the towed car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
