You car has a fault and can no longer be driven. What must you be aware of during towing?

When towing a broken-down vehicle in Germany, it is important to follow specific safety rules to prevent accidents. Firstly, both the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle must have their hazard lights on. This alerts other drivers that there is a slower-moving or unusual traffic situation ahead, increasing safety. Secondly, the towing cable should be kept as taut as possible to avoid sudden jerks or swaying, which can cause loss of control or damage to the vehicles. The third option about motorway use is not generally allowed for towing except in very specific cases and is not a general rule. By following these rules, towing becomes safer and more controlled.
