Just done some reserch on the legalities of towing mirrors, It states that if trailer or c/ van is wider than the vehicle's side mirrors, you must have towing mirrors. These can protrude up to 150mm(6 inches ) beyond the vehicle, but must be retractable. Their total width can exceed the 2.5m maximum fo...

We would be most grateful f...
