gday peoples,
yesterday a friend informed me that he thinks there has been a change to car floats . he seems to think that you now need a tow truck drivers licence to use/tow them, and a hefty fine may apply. can anyone shed some light on this. steve

1# It would help if we knew what state you were talking about.
2# Cars dont float.

In Qld as far as I know you don't need a special licence to tow a car on a trailer. Unless there some new rule that has just been brought out.
