We have the main man on here @Simon Chiles he knows the definitive.

What if I don’t want to be the main man anymore?😀

You’ve got to love the FW for nearly always getting the facts slightly wrong. Close coupled means less than 840mm centre to centre axles and I’ve got 3 tractors of around the 150 HP and up on 650 tyres and fixed rims that are all ( just ) under 2.45m.
Basically the rules for 16 year olds towing trailers were designed so that they could use the road with small trailers so that they could gain useful experience. I haven’t seen the video but it sounds from posts on here that the offender was very much taking the p and shame on his Dad for either letting or encouraging him to do so. If he’d have wiped some young Mum out with a car full off kids I’d dread to think of the consequences in that situation.

Sorry Simon, every forum is composed of 99 experts and one man who know what they are talking about ;)
