What are the rules for towing a trailer?
If you are a new trailer owner, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with the rules around trailer towing. We’ve highlighted a few of the laws to make you aware of the type of things you need to know:
- Weight of trailer and its contents should be within vehicle’s towing capacity. If the trailer has brakes, this should not exceed 85% of the vehicle’s kerbweight, and if it doesn’t have brakes, the weight shouldn’t exceed 50% of its kerbweight
- Maximum trailer width in the UK and EU is 2.55m
- Indicators, lights and brakes (where fitted) must work and you must display the correct number plate for the towing vehicle on your trailer
- The towing allowance will differ depending on when you passed your driving test (before or after 1st January 1997)
- Speed limits while towing on UK roads are 60mph for motorways and dual carriageways and 50mph on single carriageway roads. You must not use the outside lane of a motorway
