When towing a vehicle that cannot be driven, there are important safety regulations to follow.

First, both vehicles must have their hazard lights activated to alert other drivers of the situation. This is to ensure visibility and prevent collisions, especially in low-light conditions or on busy roads.

Second, the towing cable should be kept as taut as possible. This prevents excessive swaying of the towed vehicle, which can lead to instability and potential accidents. A tight cable also ensures that the vehicles maintain a more controlled connection.

The option regarding using the motorway only to shorten the journey to the next car garage is less relevant under normal towing circumstances. Generally, towing on a motorway is subject to specific restrictions unless it's a dire situation, such as being in immediate need of repair.

Understanding these regulations helps ensure safety for all road users during a towing situation. Always refer to the relevant traffic laws to stay compliant and ensure your safety.
