Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

ary 16) regarding vehicle distributors who carry vehicles one on top of another. As an answer, you stated: "A trailer, on the other hand, may be carried on a vehicle operating on trade plates provided it is fora relevant purpose, namely for delivering it to the place where the purchase intends to keep it, for proceeding to or returning from a workshop in which a body or special type of equipment or accessory is to be or has been fitted to it or in which it is to be or has been painted or repaired, for proceeding from the premises of a manufacturer of, repairer of or dealer in mechanically propelled vehicles to a place from which it is to be transported by train, shop or aircraft, or for proceeding to the premises of such a manufacturer, repairer or dealer from a place to which it has been so transported" My question is : can we legally operate an artic, ie tractive unit and new trailer, on trade plates, and also bring from a trailer manufacturer for whom we are a distributor one new trailer carried on top of another new trailer with out own unit on trade plates?

Ait is quite legal for you to operate a tractive

unit and new trailer on trade plates for the purpose of collecting and delivering the trailer from the manufacturer to either your own premises or the premises of your customer. It is also legal to carry an additional trailer on the outfit for the same purpose. Provision for this is laid down in the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 1969 Section 4111)e.
