Is Installing a Tow Hook Illegal?

[OAdrian]

Unauthorized modification is illegal, while modification after registration is not. Here is relevant information: 1. Function: After installing a tow hook, it can indeed reduce damage to your car in a rear-end collision, but it will increase the damage to the rear vehicle. It is advised that car owners should not install tow hooks privately. If your car with a tow hook collides with another car, the insurance company has the right to refuse compensation because the tow hook was installed without authorization. 2. Precautions: Cars with tow hooks can often be seen on the road, and most of them are large SUVs, such as the Land Rover Range Rover, Toyota Land Cruiser, and Nissan Patrol. When driving, if you see these cars with tow hooks, maintain a safe distance to avoid rear-end collisions.
