Moving A Non-Registered Vehicle On The Road

[Cab-over Pete]

Aye-up,

I’ve got this Xerion home and working on it. Its been in the UK about three weeks and Claas Western are getting it road registered.

It’s the Kenilworth Show on Saturday and I would like to take it there, but as it can take up to six weeks to process the V5 it seems unlikely it’ll get done in time.

Is there any way I can legally drive it on the road?

Cheers, Pete.

Tow it technically.

My self propelled post knocker isn’t road registered and was tricky to insure, it can carry out work while on the highway but not travel to and from work on the highway.

Beg some trade plates from somewhere.

 

[yellowbelly]

Low loader?

 

[mf7480]

Put it on your low loader trailer and tow it there with the 165 [emoji106]

Trade plates.

Only you're not supposed to borrow/lend them...

Trade plates.

Only you're not supposed to borrow/lend them...

the holder of the trade plates isn't lending them if they are driving the vechicle....

 

[Cab-over Pete]

I thought trade plates might be the only way.

I’ll have to have a word and see if the local owner of a set would like to drive it there!

 

[76masseyman]

Stick the number plate off the Multidrive on it !!

 

[ARW]

Just set off before anyone is out of bed

Just set off before anyone is out of bed

Yeah, nobody will know................



...........................there's only 38,211 of us on here (at the last count) and we'll not say owt



Anyway, why not get @Kevtherev to pop over and drive it there - any problems, and he'll take the points for you. Surely that's what business partners are for

 

[Kevtherev]

Drive through fields and hedges

Tow it technically.

thats not legal.
Im not sure on how it relates to non "car" vehicles, but to tow a car on the road with "2 or more wheels on the road" (ie even a suspended lift) it must have insurance and an MOT (and i guess tax)
as that is the law on cars, i cant see you will be able to tow this machine before it is registered etc.
Plus, it would be an unbraked load, which when over 750kg, is not allowed either, except in certain cirumstances (emergency recovery i believe) which this is not.

If it aint registered who are they going to charge?

The driver ?

Is he not aloud to go advertise his business?

 

[nosmokenopoke]

Insure it by its chassis number and put a different plate on it.

Think you are missing a trick here Pete. Surely you can drive it onto one of Kev’s special holes in your yard and it mysteriously reappear in its linked hole on the kenilworth showground!
