I used to work for one of the big two motoring organisations. Spent 20 years A-barring cars around the country, as much as 200 miles at a time. After a while you stop worrying and just get on with it. Legality was always dubious, no-one knew for certain. Speed was normally up to 50, maybe 60, and going uphill 70 was known. Very steady on the downhills though, much less stable. Never used the braking device/cable. Towed fairly large cars, but always felt towing a transit was too big. Towed the A bar with Transits, Vauxhall Brava and VW T4 van. It was a bit of a faff to fit the Abar, especially if only going a short distance.
