Towing UK car trailer with non UK vehicle ?

[SNapeR]

Hi , i am having some work in UK and planing on my way back to buy a car trailer and a Clio for spare parts for the rally car , and towing them back home. As far as i know , UK car trailers dont have "registration" , and are towed with the towing vehicle's registration / number. So , the question is , how can i tow a UK trailer with a non UK vehicle ?

Just get a spare rear registration plate and put that on the trailer, so it matches the tow vehicle

By the Bulgarian traffic law , i am not allowed to do that It is a "document" fraud , and it is punishable by the same law as making fake money If i have to choose , i will take the fake money

Can you register the trailer in Bulgaria if that's it home country

You need to speak to your local driving authority then for advice, you won't be the first person to ask I'm sure,

By law a trailer needs to display the same registration as the tow vehicle in the U.K. Otherwise the police may pull you and cause you a pain in the arse

Could you not just say your rear reg has fell off your tow car in Bulgaria and get them to issue a new one, once you get back into mainland Europe or close to Bulgaria, just take the plate off

'Over here' you stick a number plate the same as yours on the back of the trailor - that's the UK covered.

Then do whatever you need to do to cover you ass back home ie: Can you pre-register the trailor - ready for when you travel back home ?

But in Europe HGV Trailers are registered as a stand alone vehicle
