Are they legal and should I get one?

I know it's the cheapest rack option but not if the boys in blue are gonna be giving me the wink every time i use it…

Come on peeps, i need some impartial advice pleeeeease 🙂

of course they are legal, but your lights and number plate should be visible.

in the eyes of the low, anything that goes beyound the car bumper is not legal, Including towbars,(Still dont know how the AA get away with those big red boxes on the back of their vans) BUT the plod will turn a blind eye to towbars, boot racks will pass if you fit a light board with reg plate after you have put the bikes on, so us drivers can see you, BUT you must remove the rack when not in use.

My point exactly…

How visible…is a matter of opinion.

Anyone have experience of using one mounted on a saloon?

jd-boy – that's the sort o advice i was after. Thanks

Good enough to put me off them anyway. Gonna go roof-mounted after all.

Cheers
