Towing points: precautions for

– Use only a rope or a cable to tow
the vehicle (check the legal re-
quirements), not a bar.

– Use a rigid towing bar.
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.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad-
visable not to exceed 15 mph
(25 km/h).
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
