You car has a fault and can no longer be driven. What must you be aware of during towing?
- the force required to operate the brake pedal is significantly greater if the engine has failed
- a towing bar should be used where possible
- the rear fog lights should also be switched on to indicate the towing procedure
Here is Our AI Assistant's Explanation
You answered correctly. When towing a car with a breakdown, you need to know that if the engine is not running, the brake booster and power steering do not work. This means you have to press the brake pedal much harder to stop the car. Also, it's safest to use a towing bar if possible, as it gives the driver more control and prevents the towed vehicle from crashing into the towing car. The rear fog lights should not be turned on during towing—they are not meant for this situation and can confuse other drivers. Remember these points for similar questions in the future.
