This year I have been amazed at the number of caravans being towed without any mirrors.
My wife and I have counted over 80 on our travels around the UK. During a five week a tour of Northern Spain and France we only saw two! These were two British units arriving at a site in St Jean de Luz. When I pointed out the illegality, they laughed and said they didn't need them, then joked the next morning saying they had order a pair with their bread! I wonder if owners realise a fine of up to £1000 can be imposed and in the event of an accident insurance could be void?
I have checked with the french police and the same rules apply,on spot fines and impounding of vehicle are possible, the same applies in Germany.
Perhaps the club car/caravan insurance should warn in large print that to tow with no mirrors is illegal.
