Can a tow truck go on the highway?
1 Answers
Tow trucks can go on the highway. 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 the highway include: 1. The towed motor vehicle must not carry passengers other than the driver and must not tow a trailer; 2. The width of the towed motor 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 should be used; 5. Both the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle should turn on their hazard warning flashers.
