Information on towing with dollies and aframes

I towed a mk4 on a A frame, story short it ended up trying overtaking me on a duel carriageway.

As above never again and now only use a trailer.

How did that happen?

Used one on a C3 in the Passat and that was fine although we're talking 30MPH and a Subaru in the van which fet like it wasn't there.

No real experience with them, Subaru was about 2 miles of bypass.

It was my mates cheapo eBay one and the first and only time I have used one. Looked like the design let the A frame arm slip under th wishbone causing the chain and strap to come loose.

I needed fresh underwear after that incident....

User-error.

Done at least a thousand miles with them completely without issue, including towing a T25 camper from Manchester to Bristol.  If it wasn't for the legalities of it I'd use mine for all sorts of things.

I have no problem using an aframe, done many miles with them, usually a landy towing but even then we found a 90 too light to tow my military 109 safely,that was  170miles of cheek clenching,just the  time using escort van /golf was the worst I admit user error as i used an unsuitable tow vehicle,was a case of the tail wagging the dog. lesson learnt,have a car trailor at my disposal now anyhow
