What are the precautions for towing?
1 Answers
Precautions for towing include selecting the appropriate hitch, ensuring communication and coordination between the front and rear vehicles, and maintaining a safe distance. Selecting the appropriate hitch: The towing hitch should not only be able to hook on but must be securely fastened and properly installed. Always double-check that the hitch is properly engaged before towing to prevent it from coming loose midway. Ensuring communication and coordination between the front and rear vehicles: Drivers of both vehicles should establish a reasonable route to avoid complex road conditions and congested areas. Maintaining a safe distance: To prevent rear-end collisions when using a tow rope, it is essential to control the distance and speed between the vehicles. Typically, the length of the tow rope should be about 5-10 meters, so the distance between the vehicles should be kept within the effective range of the tow rope, and the tow rope should remain taut. Additionally, the towing speed should be kept below 20 km/h.
