Just changed my car to a BMW X3, it is fitted with a BMW detachable tow bar but there is nowhere to clip the breakaway cable, or indeed anywhere to bolt either a plate or eye. A policeman acquaintance has told me it is illegal to put the breakaway cable around the tow ball. Advise please

You would like to think a copper would know the law. While I'd prefer not to look around the tow ball, it's definitely legal to do so .... there's a specific breakaway cable available for it. Breakaway Cable (for looped attachment) AL-KO Shop
