Key Points
Mudguards stop stones and spray from hitting other vehicles.
Driving without them is illegal in the UK.
Cracked or missing guards need replacing.
Not Just for Looks
Think mudguards are just cosmetic? Wrong. Without them, muck and stones from your trailer wheels blast everyone behind you.
The Legal Side
It’s not just annoying - it’s dangerous. That’s why UK law requires trailers to have mudguards fitted securely. No guards = instant fine.
Keep Them in Check
Inspect your guards before each trip. If they’re cracked, broken, or flapping, swap them out. They’re cheap, easy, and save a lot of grief.
