The use of “dollies” is intended for the recovery of broken down vehicles, not for the
transportation of a vehicle from “A” to “B”. Under Regulation 83 of C&U a motor car is
permitted to tow two trailers when one of them is a towing implement and the other is secured
to and either rests on or is suspended from the implement. Therefore as a trailer, if the maximum laden weight of the dolly exceeds 750 kg it must be fitted with operational brakes.
Additionally the brakes on the wheels of the towed car must work and meet th
e specified
requirements. Again it would be very difficult for the rear brakes of a motor car, on their own,
to meet the 50% braking efficiency required for a trailer. The dolly would also be required by
Regulation 22 of C&U to be fitted with suspension. Regulations 19 and 22 in C&U permit a
broken down vehicle to be recovered without complying with these requirements. However,
there is further legislation under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 that introduces a
limitation on the maximum speed that the combination can be driven; this is 40mph on
motorways and 20mph on other roads.
