Towing a malfunctioning motor vehicle must not exceed a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. The following are the relevant regulations from the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": 1. When entering or exiting non-motorized lanes, passing railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, or narrow bridges; when making U-turns, turning, or descending steep slopes; 2. In conditions of fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail with visibility less than 50 meters; when driving on icy, snowy, or muddy roads; 3. When towing a malfunctioning motor vehicle, the maximum speed must not exceed 30 kilometers per hour.

I remember traffic regulations clearly stipulate that when towing a malfunctioning motor vehicle, the maximum speed must not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. This is no joke - many novice drivers may not be aware of this limit, and exceeding it can be extremely dangerous. I've seen numerous cases where the braking system of the towed vehicle might not function properly, and if the speed is too high, it's easy to lose control, leading to rollovers or rear-end collisions. Especially on highways, even with hazard lights on, you must maintain low speed, otherwise following vehicles won't have enough time to react. When driving normally, it's best to familiarize yourself with local regulations as there may be slight variations between provinces, but the limit is generally around 30km/h. Additionally, it's recommended to use tow ropes or professional towing equipment during towing - never attempt manual pushing as it's far too dangerous. In short, safety comes first - 30km/h is the absolute red line not to cross.

I always pay attention to these matters. The maximum speed for towing a disabled vehicle is 30 km/h, and this is regulated in many places around the world. Why is it so low? Because if the disabled vehicle experiences brake failure or transmission issues, higher speeds make it difficult to control. When I helped a friend tow a car, driving at 40 km/h felt unstable, so I immediately slowed down to 20 km/h to regain control. I recommend choosing a good time for towing, avoiding peak hours—such as at night or on suburban roads—for greater safety. Also, check the lighting signals and ensure the hazard lights are on throughout the entire process, so others can see us clearly. If the disabled vehicle is too heavy, it’s best to call a professional towing service rather than attempting it yourself, as it could damage both vehicles. Remember, 30 km/h is the upper limit—driving steadily is far more important than rushing.

In my experience, the speed when towing a malfunctioning vehicle must never exceed 30km/h - this is an ironclad traffic regulation. Higher speeds significantly increase risks, such as reduced braking capability and potential sudden skidding of the towed vehicle. I always check tire pressure and tow hook security before operation to prevent accidents. Maintaining low speed gives you more reaction time, especially during turns or on slopes. Always monitor weather conditions - reduce speed to 20km/h during rain or fog. Never overlook basic safety measures, as lives are at stake.
