I found this the other day in a Twitter posting from @InlandWaterways (if you are into Twitter you will know what that means) and thought it might be of interest.
It’s from a Irish website clubpowerboat.ie and is a short discussion on how the Garda (police) are clamping down on 4X4s on which the tow bar is unplated, which they say is a possibility on Japanese imports. It also discusses trailers.
This is the link to the discussion:
