Shonky12,
If it's a proper car trailer with brakes fitted [as with hire trailers] it can be legally towed by a properly licensed driver in every state as far as I'm aware. Last week, with an EB2 Fairmont on a car trailer, towed by an EB2 GLI [with tow pack], I was surrounded by Highway Patrol cars at a Maccas next to a Police Station. I watched them all look at the accident damage to the 'Mont and they watched me drive away. NSW Highway Patrol are so 'keen' for bookings, that if there was the slightest problem I am sure they would have had me. Further down the Freeway two of the HP cars passed me without a second glance. This was easily the 10th car I have towed behind the EB, some interstate. It's OK, I can't make it any clearer can I? Paul

I made the comment of it being a stupid law, I do not live in SA, I was taking advise from a resident who felt they knew the answer. clearly not in this case. Get a NIKE trailer.. Just tow IT. haha.. Lame
