What's the law on these as someone told me today they are illegal on the road? Is that right.

But surely if fitted properly they will just clip on and off. The fittings aren't illegal.

Mmm I seem to be getting mixed reactions on these.

See what even a supplier says..
While this could be argued in court over interpretation, in our opinion, these cables are not legal when mounted on a vehicle, as in the picture provided, when on a highway

If you have an accident, god forbid, i dont think the court will look on it that way. Especially when a supplier says, in their opinion, the product is not for road use. Its like the ''can i put a bullbar on'' question...well yes you can, but be prepared to get a hefty fine/sentence if they cause death or injury as they are not a standard part.

Declare them to your insurance company and then see who gets buggered

that is the supplier disclaimer, for if there is a court case they will not be liable as then said to take them off, back stepping a bit

Correct...so when you go to court the beak will say ''The manufacturer clearly states that these should not be used on the road''. You will then go er, yep, i ignored that, is that ok Mr Beak? No, £200 + costs.
