If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking
suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
– In all cases, it is advisable not to
exceed 15.5 mph (25 km/h).
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
