In the article, the reader will find answers to the following questions: is it allowed in Russia to install a towbar on passenger cars; in what cases it is necessary to register it with the traffic police and what is necessary for this.
You will also find out when the use of the vehicle is prohibited, and what administrative punishment is provided for violating the regulations.
Is it allowed to install a towbar on a passenger car: Russian legislation on the installation of a towbar
A tow bar is a towing hitch (Hitch) which is set on the car for the purpose of connecting a trailer to it.
The towbar can be installed in the standard places provided for it in the service center or independently, if this does not require a violation of the machine structure. That is, no welding, drilling, etc.
From 01.01.2015 began to operate Technical regulations "On the safety of wheeled Vehicle»TR CU 018/2011(hereinafter referred to as the Technical Regulations). It regulates the process of making structural changes to the structure of the car.
The installation of a towbar does not apply to such changes if the manufacturer has provided places for its attachment and has included it in the list of additional equipment for this car model.
In the absence of data on the TSU in the type approval of the TS (OTTS) and the documentation of the manufacturer, its installation will be a change in the design of the machine. In this case, permission for its installation is given by the traffic police. This is evidenced by clause 7.18 of the SDA and the Law "On Security road traffic"No. 196-FZ of 10.12.1995.
Important. If the car is not in use, no one has the right to fine the owner for re-equipping it.
When operating a machine with a towing hitch (Hitch), the following papers must be available:
- Passport (installation instructions) of the towbar with a mark of the car service about its installation.
- A copy of the TSU certificate.
- Proof of work done.
Do I need to register a towbar with the traffic police: new rules for installing a towbar on a passenger car
Many drivers are worried about the question: how to legally install a traction device?
Any changes made to the design of the car must be registered with the traffic police. The installation of a towbar on almost all car models is allowed by the manufacturer. This is indicated in the instruction manual.
The installation of the towing hitch does not apply to the design changes of the vehicle.
The towbar does not need to be registered with the traffic police in the following cases:
- The installation of the towing hitch is provided by the manufacturer.
- The towbar has a passport and a certificate of conformity.
- The device for the trailer is installed according to the instructions given in the passport, that is, the design of the machine has not been changed.
When installing a towbar on a car, you should be guided by the information from the operating documents for the car. If they indicate that the towing vehicle being installed is certified for use in this vehicle, then there is no need to register the changes.
The new rules establish: TSU is not checked and not approved by the traffic police (clause 77 of the Technical Regulations) in the following cases:
- The towbar is designed for this car.
- The assessment of the conformity of the TSU to the car has been carried out, there are supporting documents.
- The installation is provided by the manufacturer.
Information about whether this vehicle the towing of the trailer is indicated in its load table. It is located on the right B-pillar or under the hood. It informs about the possibility of connecting a trailer.
If the corresponding row contains no data, the towbar must be registered with the traffic police.
Requires the design of a tow bar, bolted or welded to the power elements of the machine, and is necessary for serious traction loads.
When installing a towbar with your own hands, the following rules should be observed:
- The choice of a device suitable for a specific make and model of car.
- Reading the instructions for the hitch.
- Preparation of the necessary tools.
- Removing the bumper and its amplifier.
- Installation of beams and brackets to the side members of the body according to the diagram specified in the instructions.
- Fastening the socket to the beam; connecting the wiring harness to the beam with plastic cords.
- Pulling the harness through the opening in the rear panel.
- Electrical installation, the connector for it is on the car diagram.
- Connection of two pads.
- Installing removed machine parts.
Attention! The bolts connecting the trailer hitch elements to the body must be carefully tightened. If the attachment points are rusted, they should be treated with anticorrosive material.
Competent installation of towing hitch will ensure the duration of its operation, reliability on the way and trouble-free operation.
What documents are needed to register a towbar with the traffic police?
To register a TSU with the traffic police and obtain a certificate, you first need to undergo a technical examination.
Stage 1. Preliminary inspection in the traffic police
The car owner must visit the traffic police and write an application for a preliminary examination of the design of the car, hand over the documents in the window and after a certain period of time receive a decision.
The following papers must be submitted to the inspection:
- Application of the established form (issued by the traffic police).
- PTS (double-sided copy).
- Hitch documents.
- Registration certificate passenger cars.
Stage 2. Expertise after changes with safety assessment
The towing hitch is installed on the car.
The work must be performed by a specialized center, which will issue supporting documents: an act of work performed, a declaration statement, a copy of the certificate of conformity.
The owner drives the car away for inspection, where they check the safety of structural changes and draw up a diagnostic card.
Then the technical examination is carried out by the traffic police and a certificate is issued.
To obtain it, the car owner provides:
- Diagnostic card.
- TSU purchase agreement and other documents.
- Towbar certificate.
- Declaration from a car service.
- Application and decision made by the preliminary examination.
When the installation of a towbar on a passenger car is prohibited - the amount of the fine
Legislation prohibits the installation of a towbar on a car if it is not listed as an optional equipment in the OTTS.
A copy of the document can be requested from dealership or at the car manufacturer. It is received by firms that manufacture or import cars into the Russian Federation.
Equip a car with a tow bar not allowed if it is prohibited to use a trailer on it.
In other cases, or for the use of a heavy trailer, it is necessary category "E".
When inspecting a car with a towbar, the inspector may issue a fine if the vehicle:
- Non-standard or defective.
- Closes license plate or optics.
- Installed in places not provided by the manufacturer.
If problems arise when registering a car due to the presence of a towbar, you should ask the traffic police officer for a written explanation of why he imposed a ban on registration.
Based on the clarifications received, you can write a complaint addressed to the head of the traffic police.
The penalty TSU provides for Part 1 of Art. 12.5 Administrative Code. Its size is 500 rubles. It can be paid with a 50% discount. This is permitted by Art. 32.2 of the Administrative Code. This can be done within 20 days from the date of his discharge.
Important. Driving without registering structural changes to a car implies administrative responsibility and increases the danger to the life and health of road users.
Is it possible to avoid a fine for a towbar without registering it with the traffic police?
Can administrative punishment be avoided?
The car owner can prevent the issuance of a fine for the presence of a tow hitch in several ways:
1. First, you should conduct a dialogue with the inspector that in the near future everything will be corrected
Ask him to limit himself to a warning. The legality of this is confirmed by Art. 12.5 Administrative Code.
This tactic is especially effective if the driver has not violated traffic rules in the last 6 months or a year.
2. Using a removable tow bar
A towbar is a device that is attached between a car and a trailer (van) for connection. A large number of drivers use towbars to connect trailers, but are not aware of the obligation to have the appropriate documents and permits. In the latest changes and additions to the legislation of the Russian Federation, new conditions and requirements for this type of device were added.
The procedure for installing a towbar according to the law
According to Russian legislation, in order to install a towbar on a car, it is necessary to carry out a number of specific actions.
The procedure for action in the law is as follows:
- The citizen attaching the towbar determines if this procedure is possible with his vehicle. Some models of passenger cars are not designed for traction of trailers, so the person needs to determine whether the model of the car is suitable for him. There is a special place for the traction device trailer;
- The unit is selected from the seller, preferably the manufacturer of the brands corresponding to the car. The towbar is selected according to the make and model of the owner's car;
- Then the documents are drawn up at the car service, where the master will carry out the installation, attaching the device to the car;
- The documents are handed over to the owner, and he registers the hitch with the traffic police.
But the registration procedure is optional. To avoid paperwork, the owner must comply with certain conditions and requirements:
- The installation of the trailer is provided by the company that manufactures cars of the brand and model of the owner;
- The installation and the connection procedure were carried out according to the instructions, the work was carried out by a master in a car dealership, without making your own adjustments and actions from the owner. For example, it is forbidden to drill or use welding;
- The owner has documents about the towbar model, passport, certificate. These papers contain evidence of the lawful actions of the owner of the car.
The registration of the towbar in the traffic police takes place only if any changes or adjustments are made during the installation of the device. Registration cost in different situations different. The price depends on the type of vehicle, trailer model and installation complexity. Also read the basics of Federal Law No. 324. Details
Documents for installing a towbar:
- Application for registration. The application form or form is issued on the spot, upon arrival at the traffic police;
- The original of the certificate and its copy of the registration of the car owned by the person and to which the trailer has joined;
- A full package of documents for the ownership and use of the towbar, with its passport, certificate and data;
- Double-sided copy of the TCP.
After registration, the driver is given a paper with confirmation. It proves the legality of using the towbar.
Amendments to the law on the installation of a towbar on a passenger car
Citizens often search on the Internet new law about trailed devices. However, there is currently no law on a towbar.
There are only two acts that traffic police officers refer to during checks or registrations:
- The Code of Administrative Offenses of Russia;
- "On the safety of wheeled vehicles" 018/2011.
Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation a detailed list and description of all accessories for the car, from which penalties are due, is given, but there is no towbar in this list. According to the latest amendments to this article, the towbar refers to devices, illegal installation, installation and use of which is punishable by a fine and liability.
In case of referring to TR CU 018/2011 , the provisions of the law regulate changes in the type and structure of a passenger car. The traffic police check whether the changes in the car device were provided for when the car was created. If the installation of this type of device is provided, then its use is considered legal.
Is it possible to install a towbar under the new law? It is possible, but only with the appropriate documentation. The owner is obliged to have a passport with detailed information about the trailer, his serial number, filled in the field about the process and the results of installation. Also, the driver needs to have with him the certificate of the completed installation work and at least one copy of the certificate of the mounted towbar.
Is there a penalty for a towbar without a trailer?
According to the acts described above, the fine for illegal use of the towbar is calculated in 500 rubles ... However, Tech. regulations and article 12.5 of the Administrative Code of Russia describe and Alternative option punishment in cases where there is no obvious fault of the driver in the violation. Such punishment can be a verbal warning from a traffic police officer. Of course, every driver wonders how you can avoid paying a fine.
If the owner of the car has not had any offenses for a long time, drove in accordance with the rules of the road, then he can ask the service workers to do only with a verbal warning. Inspectors often do not pay attention to driving with a towbar without a trailer. Also, the driver can use a removable hitch, which, if necessary, can be attached back to the car by himself. If there is a removable towbar, the inspector will not be able to interpret this device as the cause of emergencies on the roads. And if the owner of the car has all the necessary documents on hand, he will definitely be released without a fine.
Another way to avoid monetary punishment is the use of Chapter 5 of the Technical Regulations, paragraph 77. If the driver indicates to the traffic police officer about this point, and does not have any problems with the documentation, he will be released.
Clause 77 says that additional devices for the car are not checked if:
- The towbar has a purpose conceived during the creation and construction of the car;
- The owner of the machine has a complete package of documents with information about the brand, model of the machine and an additional device, as well as information about the installation carried out;
- There is a paper certificate of the suitability of this type of device for this brand of machine.
Owners should know that it will not work to avoid a fine if the towbar was not installed on the car according to the rules, there are no corresponding papers, the device is homemade, etc.
Any car is a complex system consisting of mutually influencing units and parts. The manufacturer, when developing the design of the machine, initially tries to take into account all the nuances that the use of each individual device entails.
As a rule, unauthorized changes to the design of a car only lead to the fact that it becomes more dangerous in operation - both for the driver and for other road users. That is why the installation of additional units requires special procedures, coordination with the traffic police, and often - and auto-technical expertise.
Here, one should be guided by the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union TR CU 018/2011, which determines that such dismantling of units or installation of units not provided for by the design of the vehicle, which will affect the safety of road traffic, will be considered a change in the design.
Important: Among the nodes, the improper installation and operation of which is dangerous, also includes the hitch (or, as it is officially called in the documents, a towing hitch for a passenger car).
This unit is designed to attach trailers to the car - and therefore, in the event of its destruction or sudden slippage, there may be an uncontrollably moving trailer on the track, into which other cars can crash, or it can collide with them.
Regarding towbars, however, the registration situation is twofold:
- Some of them require mandatory registration and approval from the traffic police.
- But for many, the explicit order of installing this node is enough.
What determines the need for registration?
When is it necessary to do this?
It is necessary to register the towbar in the following cases:
- If its installation was not originally provided for by the design of the car. In this situation, the owner of the machine, before installing a new device, may need to conduct an examination in a certified laboratory, which will confirm the safety of the changes made.
- If the design of the car allows the installation of a towbar, but there are no necessary documents for this unit. In particular, this situation can arise when installing handicraft towbars.
In what cases is it not necessary to make changes?
Car owners had questions about installing a towbar so often that as a result, a number of regional traffic police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation gave official explanations in 2016. Their essence boils down to the following. If the vehicle manufacturer allows the installation of the towbar, then additional registration of changes in the design is not required.
However, this requires that several conditions be met:
Therefore, in order to install a towbar on a car, the owner will need:
- Passport for towing hitch with marks of the seller and installer.
- Certified copy of the towbar certificate.
- Receipt of payment and sales receipt or invoice for the device.
These documents should be kept in the car and presented to the traffic police inspector if, during the check, questions arise regarding the changes made to the design of the car.
Moreover, if the car is new, then the towbar can be installed in only two ways:
- At the service center of an authorized dealer.
- In a service station that has a corresponding certificate of conformity for the services provided.
If this is not done, then the traffic police will have no claims to the TSU - however, the car warranty will be terminated.
Important: The design of the towbar can provide for both its constant use and the installation of a fastening unit immediately before using the trailer.
The latter option is mainly used on modern cars manufactured in countries where the use of a trailer hitch without a trailer is prohibited. Of course, no approvals are needed for such a towbar: this is a standard vehicle unit that can be removed or installed.
How do I know if a car is provided?
In order to determine whether it is possible to install the towing hitch on a specific vehicle, the following steps should be taken:
How to register a TSU on a car: rules
In the event that on passenger car a hitch is put, it can be legalized as follows.
What is required for registration?
It will be required to register the towbar with the traffic police only if there is no evidence that a specific model of the towbar is approved. In this case, you need to be guided by the traffic rules and the Federal Law "On Road Safety" No. 196-FZ of 1995.
Attention: If there is no data on the approval of the towbar design by the car manufacturer, you will first need to submit an application to the traffic police for a preliminary examination.
In this case, auto experts must assess how safe the resulting design will be and whether it can ultimately be released on public roads.
In this case, the following is submitted to the traffic police:
- Registration application.
- A copy of the TCP.
- Technical documents for towing hitch.
- STS for a car.
Certificate of conformity for the tow hitch
In some cases, when automakers did not take the trouble to describe the conditions for using the towbar, but the installation of the towbar itself is legal, a certificate is required that confirms the compliance of the coupling assembly with the standards.
The certificate is issued:
As a result, if a towbar is installed on the car, then the certificate for it:
- Can be restored again.
- Can be obtained if it has not been previously issued.
In the first case, in order to get a duplicate, you need to contact:
- To the official representation of the company with a request or at least with a copy of the sales contract. Basically, the sales offices serve customers who have purchased new cars of the corresponding brand and have encountered difficulties. However, they often provide assistance to all car owners who own a car of the corresponding brand.
- To the official website. Often this kind of documents are laid out by carmakers in the public domain.
- On a specialized Internet resource. Quite often, users collect a collection of regulatory documents. Even if such data is not officially accepted, the car owner will know what to start from.
Attention: In the same case, if the hitch was not initially certified, the owner of the car will have to either refuse to install it or go through the certification procedure.
To do this, you need to contact an auto laboratory that has permission to conduct the relevant examinations and is accredited with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. Only after the corresponding document is received from there, we can talk about installing a non-standard towbar.
How much does the procedure cost?
If the design of the car provides for the possibility of mounting a towbar, and there are legally issued documents on the unit itself, no additional fee is required. It is enough to put the towing hitch and drive, having the relevant documents with you.
If it is necessary to legalize the changes made to the design of the car, then payment will be required:
- carrying out auto-technical expertise. It will cost at least 3 thousand rubles;
- payment for technical inspection - at least 400 rubles;
- obtaining a certificate of conformity - at least 800 rubles;
- changes in the TCP according to Art. 333.33 Tax Code of the Russian Federation - 350 rubles;
- new STS - 500 rubles.
Prices are indicative.
What if the hitch is already installed without documents?
If the car owner has already installed the towbar and he just needs to legalize the alteration, the prices and procedure will be the same as when installing an unlicensed towbar. However, it must be remembered that in certain cases the installation will be an administratively punishable act and you will have to pay a fine.
When is it prohibited?
The ban on the installation of a towbar exists in two cases:
- When the car manufacturer has not provided for the possibility of using it as a tractor, and therefore the operation of trailers is unsafe for road users.
- When the design and fastening of the towbar does not provide safety.
In this case, the perpetrator will be fined from 500 to 5000 rubles in accordance with Art. 12.5 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation.
Registration of a towbar is a procedure that is not always required. The vast majority of cars can be used as trailers, but where the towing device does not meet the requirements, problems can arise.

In order to use a car for transportation of various goods, trailers are often used. The trailer will be connected to the car using a tow bar (towing hitch). Since June 1, 2019, the owners of some car models have encountered difficulties installing such equipment.
We will tell you whether it is necessary to register a towbar for a passenger car with the traffic police in 2019-2020, and how to do it.
When the towbar requires registration
Whether a towbar registration is necessary in the traffic police in 2019 -2020 depends on the design of a light car. You will not have to register the towbar in the following cases:
- it was delivered at the factory, i.e. changes in the design of the car were made by the manufacturer itself. In this case, when buying a car, the owner will receive all the necessary documents for the towbar. Additional registration is not required;
- it is installed as an option in the showroom. In this case, all the necessary documents will also be transferred to the new owner of the car.
Not every car can be equipped with a towbar as optional equipment... For this, two conditions must be met. They are as follows:
- the factory documentation provides for the installation of a towbar. This information is usually indicated in the instruction manual that comes with every new machine.
- the towbar itself is designed to be installed on a specific car model, which is confirmed by the manufacturer's documents. And also passed the conformity assessment.
If the above two conditions are met, then the answer to the question whether it is necessary to register a hitch for passenger cars with the traffic police is negative. Required documents will be with the owner without going through additional procedures. It:
- vehicle operating manual;
- documents for the towbar, which is a case of confirmation that the device is intended for a specific vehicle model;
- certificate of conformity for the towbar.
Should the towbar be registered or not, if this device is not provided in the vehicle by the manufacturer? In such a situation, the owner of the car will have to register this device on their own, since the hitch is considered a change in the factory design.
From 1.06.2019, the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 6.04.2019 No. 413 came into force in Russia. Now any change in the design of the vehicle must be coordinated and then registered. Therefore, if a car with a towbar was not originally provided by the manufacturer, then in order to legally use such a vehicle, you will need to make an effort.
How to register?
Registration of a towbar with the traffic police in 2019 (the price under the new rules for registration is 800 rubles) consists of several stages:
- contacting a specialized laboratory. It must be without fail accredited to investigate changes in the design of machines;
- research by laboratory staff for the safety of changes in the design of the machine (in this case, the installation of a tow bar);
- obtaining a laboratory conclusion (as a rule, when installing a towbar, it must be positive);
- providing a positive conclusion of the laboratory on the installation of a towbar in the traffic police;
- issuance of the traffic police permission to make changes (within three days after the citizen's appeal);
- installation of a towbar on a car;
- re-examination by the laboratory. Issuance of the verification protocol.
- passing MOT;
- issuance of a traffic police certificate of compliance of a vehicle with safety requirements (It is for this service that a state duty of 800 rubles is provided);
- then the hitch will be brought into the traffic police when registering the car in the PTS and the registration certificate.
Additional installation of a towbar and its registration with the traffic police is not an easy procedure. Although when installing a towbar on a car, there will be no refusal from the laboratory, and all actions are formal. Nevertheless, material investments are required - it is necessary to pay for the examination in the laboratory and the state registration fee. Therefore, it is advisable before purchasing new car immediately think: will the trailer be used to transport goods or not? If the answer is in the affirmative, then it is necessary to consider for the acquisition of a model of cars either immediately with a towbar, or in the design of which such a device is provided as additional equipment.
What to do if the towbar is installed, but there are no documents for it?
You can try to get the documents from the manufacturer of the machine. But this is only possible if the manufacturer has provided a towbar in the vehicle design. If it is impossible to obtain documents (the most common option is that the manufacturer did not initially provide for it in the design of the machine), then there are two options:
- register the hitch as a change in the design of the machine according to the new rules;
- dismantle the towbar (accordingly, either do not use such a vehicle to transport goods on a trailer, or change the car to another model with a towbar).
Penalty for mounted tow bar in a passenger car is incomprehensible to many drivers. For them, a tow hitch is a necessity, but traffic police inspectors require dismantling or payment of a certain amount. Some owners don't even know if it's legal. So you need to study the requirements, understanding the reason for their appearance and the amount of administrative responsibility.
What is a towbar?
Towbar - a device for a trailer. It is installed under the rear bumper, but such changes are interpreted as unauthorized. Traffic rules do not allow them to be made, as they pose a danger during road traffic. This concept may seem strange, because complex models of towbars are specially made for a passenger car.
If the design of the machine does not provide for the factory method of connecting the trailer, additional documents are required.
Practice shows that difficulties have to be faced at every step. The traffic police quickly fines drivers, not allowing any refutation and persuasion.
Why is the device fined?
The traffic rules indicate the prohibition of the installation of additional structures. In accordance with the regulations, the vehicle must remain in the factory configuration, and any elements that could create a hazardous situation must be removed. This interpretation suggests that you have to pay a fine.
How does the trailed structure pose a danger to the surrounding machines? Changes can be made, but within the established dimensions. If they do not correspond to standard indicators, movement becomes impossible. The towbar partially protrudes beyond the rear bumper, therefore, even in a minor collision, seriously damages the second car. This explains why it is necessary to deal with the registration of the changes made.
How to protect yourself from responsibility?
Changes to the vehicle design are not permitted. In 2016, the provisions of the Federal Law appeared, which indicated administrative responsibility. The changes led to ambiguous situations, although experienced drivers quickly figured out how to get around the problem. Is it safe to drive on the roads? What can be done for this?
- Factory complete set;
- Registration of permission.
When you need to install a towbar for a trailer on a car, two of these rules should be taken into account. This is the only way to achieve relaxed travel, as the new law suggests. So it's worth considering the changes to avoid making mistakes.
Factory complete set
Do I need to register the towbar shown in the factory? No, it is allowed as it is not a design change. The car is prepared in advance for the carriage of goods, so it does not pose a hazard while driving. Such a statement is incomprehensible, because manufacturers do not always take into account the dimensions correctly.
The paradox remains silly, because the vehicle remains dangerous, but the presence of a formalized transformation suggests otherwise. A great example is the huge SUVs that inexperienced drivers try to get around. Some people think that the big tax is the reason for connivance. You have to pay it anyway, so the extra costs are unnecessary.
Registration of permission
The last change in the rules suggests the mandatory registration of the tow hitch. Otherwise, traffic police inspectors have the right to fine drivers on all roads. There are no exceptions, therefore, before transporting goods in a car, you should go to the department.
The owners had a question: "I have been driving my car for a long time, but only now I found out that a permit for a trailer is required." The latter provisions have appeared recently, so now it is necessary to draw up transformations without fail. You can only purchase ready-made factory models of towbars that meet all the requirements. Otherwise, technical expertise will be required, which rarely agrees to travel on the roads.
Fine amount
What is the penalty for the driver? In accordance with the rules, it is only 500 rubles, but repeated violation entails new administrative responsibility. This problem remains the main one, because you have to regularly pay large sums.
Under the new legislation, the owner can be fined at any position. This suggests that it is much easier to abandon transformations. Most often they are not so important, so you can freely find an alternative. Although, if necessary, formalization of documents is always available, which will not take much time.
Additional difficulties
You also need to register the trailer. He is a vehicle with a full package of documents. Few car owners who are accustomed to the old rules know about this. Previously, they were able to simply purchase a structure "by hand" or make it according to a personal project, but today such a solution is becoming unavailable.
Experts note that a large package of papers will be required to transport goods. The towbar and trailer must be submitted to the department for expert review. Yes, if everything was purchased in a store, the necessary documentation will be obtained without problems. Otherwise, dismantling will most likely be required, which will only lead to unnecessary complications.
Alternative options
In recent years, motorists have been constantly interested in the alternative. Are there structures that can replace the trailer? This question remained the main one for people who do not want to face administrative responsibility, but some types freight transport remain binding on them.
- Racks;
- Special trailers.
Roof rack is a great alternative to a tow bar
Today, professionals argue that outdated designs can be disposed of. Gradually, the need for them disappears, as it is always possible to find excellent replacements. They will simple solution, which will save you from unnecessary collision with traffic police inspectors.
Racks
The stands are becoming the most interesting. They are mounted on the roof of the vehicle, allowing you to transport skis, snowboards and even bicycles without restrictions. In such cases, no design changes are made, so there is no need to worry about fines. The only question is the dimensions of the car, because they are strictly specified in the rules. Among them, the maximum height is noted, but the factory design may exceed it. After installation, the indicators increase, although they remain acceptable. Moreover, the documents can be obtained immediately, and in the future clashes with inspectors are excluded.
Roof rack
If you often have to transport things, you can refuse the trailer. Manufacturers offer unique designs with large capacity. When a person is thinking about how to get ready for vacation, he should think about the roof rack. This solution turns out to be simple and reliable, protecting things from bad weather. The costs are justified by one hundred percent, which makes you seriously think about an affordable purchase.
Special trailers
Special trailers are manufactured for motorcycles, scooters, boats and other vehicles. There are many of them, but each of them meets stringent requirements and is installed without additional registration in the traffic police. For this reason, it is easier for car owners to take advantage of such an offer than to face endless bureaucracy again.
The use of trailers has long become a habit for motorists. Today the rules have changed a lot, so it is better not to go on the road with loads without formalized papers. Otherwise, a fine will be issued at the next post, which will have to be paid without delay, and then the device will be dismantled.
