Trailer & Towing Legislation

Many of the myths that surround trailer operation have sadly found their way into national and even international legislation.

The NTTA is committed to improving this situation and so strongly lobby the Government and the EC to remove or amend irrelevant, and introduce useful and sensible measures instead.

  • We do this by being represented wherever possible on national and international committees, by preparing detailed and well-argued reports, backed up by case studies and technical arguments.
  • We also study Green and White Papers and make strong representations in response, on behalf of NTTA members.
  • Our 24-hour legal advice service means that NTTA members can find on-the-spot FREE legal advice on any legal matter, including personal matters.
  • This can be vital in the case of possible accidents or unforeseen difficulties. Or. it could be useful simply as a means of finding advice or confirming a legal point that could clinch a sale with a customer, There are many ways in which the NTTA members can benefit from such help and cooperation.
