Repair the fault before continuing with your journeyThis was the right answer

You must make sure that your vehicle and trailer are roadworthy. Check that your tyres are legal, and the brakes and lights are working properly.

If any of these things are not working, you must not drive or tow your trailer until the fault is repaired.
