@Ge0rge @mdooher I agree about removing the tow ball. If an adjustable spanner could remove a tow ball without removing at least 500grams of flesh then that tow ball was not secure enough. Also, adjustable spanners should never be in any toolbox but that's a story for another time and place.

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

If you are fitting a tow bar on a vehicle with a low mounted registration plate fit one of these, a removable tow bar....

That's assuming there's an approved model of towbar like that available.

I have not had any issues with vehicles I have owned to date.

The dealer fitted one on my car isn't removable and so far as I'm aware there isn't a removable option available.

If you don't mind me asking but what breed of vehicle are you driving?

If it’s up to Police to enforce the law, why not let the Police enforce the law, instead of all the sanctimonious comments, from several people on here?

Welcome to the internet, where you can accuse people you have never met of being idiots and judge them for things they haven't done.
