If brakes are fitted they must work but also in conjunction with the tow vehicle is my understanding of that but I stand to be corrected...
The use of A-frames was much discussed on the Pembleton forum and the conclusion was that as the car and frame weigh less than 400kg, it would be a harsh copper who pressed a charge. The finished weight of a steel bodied saloon or tourer is usually a bit more than this if I'm correctly informed.
My aluminium bodied Austin special weighed 370kg it is an easy tow on a light trailer. I have an A-frame for the Pembleton but must admit I don't like using it. I have followed another owner towing a Pembleton trike happily at 50 mph but I wouldn't.
A-frames are definitely not welcome in France or Germany, I'm not sure about the rest of Europe.
