Yes as counts as two trailers when car attached and limited to 40mph as per showman's licence. However most coppers do not know law - perhaps an official comment from our North East law enforcer? On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:

i thought if you got a brked one they were treated as a normal trailer i.e ok. the trouble i see is that pukka braked ones sell for the price of a trailer. no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

This has been done to death but here is your smart copper! From http://www.ukmotorhomes.net/a-frames.shtml The use of "dollies" is intended for the recovery of broken down vehicles, not for the transportation of a vehicle from "A" to "B". Under Regulation 83 of C&U a motor car is permitted to tow two trailers when one of them is a towing implement and the other is secured to and either rests on or is suspended from the implement. Therefore as a trailer if the maximum laden weight of the dolly exceeds 750 kg it must be fitted with operational brakes, additionally the brakes on the wheels of the second trailer (the towed car) must work and meet the specified requirements. Again this would be very difficult for the rear brakes of a motor car, on their own, to meet the 50% braking efficiency required for a trailer. The dolly would also be required by Regulation 22 of C&U to be fitted with suspension. Regulations 19 and 22 in C&U permit a broken down vehicle to be recovered without complying with these requirements. However, there is further legislation under the Road Traffic Act that introduces a limitation on the maximum speed that the combination can be driven; this is 40mph on motorways and 20mph on other roads.
