No, it's just parked for long periods with some sort of stone or block either side of the wheels to stop it moving.

It's in a residential housing estate, parked along the side of the road the way cars are parked, but it's been there for a very long time so it doesn't seem that it's ever used. It's just parked at an awkward spot so it would preferable if it was parked somewhere else! I was just wondering do these things need tax, insurance, etc. It wasn't easy to find info online so I thought somebody else more familiar with these vehicles might be able to advise

Interesting. I would have thought all vehicles on the public road would at least need to have 3rd party insurance, in case of a collision. Seems like road tax would be in order too when you're using a public road for your storage facility. Could you point to where this formation is available online re tax & insurance?

It is just a regular housing estate, so no private roads unfortunately!

Thanks for the hostile & belittling responses. Maybe someone else could respond though who does understand what I mean.

If only this one was a target! 😜

Gettinng into semantics now but a dictionary definition of a horse trailer is 'a vehicle for transporting horses that is pulled behind another vehicle' so I don't think it's off the wall to describe it as a vehicle. The same way a caravan is described as 'a wheeled vehicle for living or travelling in, that can be pulled by a car'. I think most people driving would describe anything else moving or being moved on the roads as a vehicle. Nevertheless, the consensus seems to be that there's no tax or insurance obligation which is surprising to me but anyway There was no query in my mind about NCT.

No need to repeat ad naseaum, we got that a long way back. I never mentioned NCT, you brought that up.

So many grumps on here, who can't be civil in their responses, it's an ordeal to read some of the threads. The irony of being a moderator of Social & Fun.

Don't bother to reply anymore, I've had enough of the dismissive rebukes from all the know-it-alls.

And you were asked not to respond but you clearly couldn't accept that. Yet your definition of a vehicle has to be accepted by all without question?

I don't agree with your definition and you go straight to irate. I think I'll go with the dictionary definition if it's all the same to you.

I accepted the opinion that tax and insurance are not obligatory back at in #8 and just looked for where I could verify this for clarity. Where's the crime in that?? Then you try to diminish me by suggesting I was expecting an NCT to be performed on a trailer.

I don't know how someone expressing their surprise at an answer sounds arugmentative to you. To me it's just conversational. But the responses from some are not delivered in a way that you would speak to someone in person, so why be so aggressive in print? It's overly critical and makes me remember why I gave up reading this website years ago.

So have at it with your 'fun forum' Smart Arse. I'll go somewhere else where the moderators aren't so belligerent.
