Are Vehicles Allowed to Tow Trailers on Highways?
1 Answers
On highways, towing is permitted for rescue vehicles, but generally not for regular vehicles. If a motor vehicle breaks down or is involved in a traffic accident on the highway and cannot operate normally, it should be towed or pulled by a rescue vehicle or a wrecker. Precautions for towing on highways: 1. The towed vehicle must not carry passengers other than the driver and must not tow a trailer. 2. The width of the towed vehicle must not exceed that of the towing vehicle. 3. When using a soft connection towing device, the distance between the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle should be more than 4 meters but less than 10 meters. 4. For a towed vehicle with failed brakes, a hard connection towing device must be used. 5. Both the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle must turn on their hazard warning flashers.
