When pulling a trailer, you should carry out some extra vehicle checks before each journey and take certain precautions during travel.
Make sure you know the technical requirements when towing a trailer, from understanding trailer categories and required licensing, to mandatory roadworthiness testing and braking requirements.
All trailers must meet with Irish Road Traffic Regulations when in use in a public place. These regulations set out the law in relation to weights, lights, brakes, plating, under-run, side-guards, securing of loads, etc.
