It is not unusual for the police or VOSA to pay particular attention to recovery vehicles and cars that are towing a heavy load. Keeping the entire rig legal ie, no cracks in the windscreen, good tyres, working lights and clean condition will help.
When towing with a normal passenger car in the UK the maximum permissible width for a trailer is 2.3 meters. However, the load attached to the trailer can overhang the sides by up to 30cm on each side giving a total width of 2.9m.
Although Ripon is not very large it is a city as it has a cathedral, Ripon Cathedral. This makes it the fourth smallest city in the UK. The City of Ripon is over 1000 years old, the only other city in North Yorkshire is York. The riuns of Fountains Abbey can be found nearby. The abbey is a great place to visit in the summer for a day trip as you can swim in the river nearby.
