Should the towing repair personnel accompany the vehicle?

It is recommended that the vehicle owner be present during towing repairs, as many components need to be disassembled for damage assessment, and there are various types of repair materials. Having the owner on-site ensures better attention to details. Below is relevant information about towing vehicles: 1. Definition of towing vehicles: Officially called road clearance vehicles, also known as tow trucks, road rescue vehicles, or recovery vehicles, they possess multiple functions including lifting, pulling, and towing. Towing vehicles are primarily used for roadside breakdowns, urban traffic violations, and emergency rescues. 2. Precautions for towing: The tow truck should have bright, conspicuous colors, preferably warning colors for visibility. Reflective strips should be applied for night operations to alert passing vehicles. During towing, maintain good communication with the towed vehicle, ensuring close coordination between both vehicles and maintaining a safe distance. The tow rope should not be too short, as the towed vehicle already has issues, and a short rope increases the risk of rear-end collisions during sudden braking.
