Do you have to have towing mirrors by law?

Also see CAMC 2017/18 Sites Directory & Handbook - Technical Information - Towing mirrors - Pages 655-656

Many fit them.   Not all use them.

How odd, I've seen an identical question asked on Pistonheads today, must be the time of year.

Even the other travelling fraternity with their  big and wide c/vans "should" have them if behind a transit

In that case you might be interested in this.......

When did anybody see a motorway traffic car?I have just travelled 100 miles on M20,M26 and M25.I did not see a single traffic/police vehicle!A number of vehicles,mainly German brands,travelling at well over 100mph(estimated).I saw a white Volvo travelling in a smart motorway lane 1 with a red X over it,I saw an Audi driver holding his mobile telephone high in the air with the cover open,I saw continental HGV lorries travelling at 60 ish mph with less than a cars length between them,I saw vehicles travelling in lanes 2 and three when lane 1 was empty!!!! BUT I never saw a traffic car!!!Beleive me...if I set off with no towing mirrors....I would be pulled within 10 miles!!!

I was at a meeting at our police headquarters about ANPR cameras some weeks ago,and what i will divulge is that the instances that were noted by Dsweetman will not have gone un noticed,and a good chance that some of the drivers that were noted will be receiving an unwelcome letter or visit  

I am really pleased if this is the case.and here was I planning my second coming as a traffic cop!!!!!!!!

Towing with a car Govuk see here

On the M5 and elsewhere there are unmarked police vehicles.
