VOSA stated to me over the phone that a vehicle pulled with an A frame isn't considered a trailer if the front wheel are on the ground, as in all 4 wheels are rolling.
If the front wheels are lifted as in the AA van A frames then it's a trailer and you require a licence to carry above 750kg.
Also the vehicle doing the pulling must be heavier than the towed vehicle, this is to stop people towing a 4x4 with a mini ect...
Also the combined weight has to be a maximum of 3.5t and must not exceed the vehicle towing weight of the vehicle doing the towing.
Basically if you want to A frame tow a vehicle and be legal then you are best towing with a large 4x4 and leaving all 4 wheels on the ground of the towed vehicle.

how could they state that it needs brakes being operated on the car via over run when there is no facility on any car to hook up or on an A frame its self, that has to be nonsence wherever it was wrote, as over run isnt and wont be a possibility on any car they would simply ban the device altogether.Sorry to add to this, but I am almost certain a car being towed with an A frame does need brakes being operated on the car via over run, obviously unless the car is under 750kg. It is classed as a trailer. The AA moved a Truimph 2000 mk2 by A Frame for me, he said he should be using the braking system, but he took a chance because it was a very short journey.
Friends have a camper and they tow their small car, we have talked about the brakes issues etc, this might be down to interpretation as someone mentioned but the final say would be in court would you risk gaining a fine and points or even losing your licence etc.
Its like the mine field of when to use a tacho and when not to, if you are court not using one and you should be it is your licence that will suffer.
The maximum towing weights still apply so for example a mini should never be trying to tow a car over its set tow weight, also remember not all 4x4's can tow 3.5 ton and when you look at vans (transits etc) you might be surprised about the max they can tow or not as the case might be, our group has 5 vans one Iveco 3.5t, 3 transits 2000kg and 1 transit 1500kg, but from the outside the four transits look the same.
no they can be used for transportation as well only dollies are for recovery only unless they have brakes and suspension see hereI believe A-Frames are for recovery purposes only.
Police turn a blind eye to most things these days, because of the difference in opinion. It helps if you don't drive like a dick too..
