gency situations on the road.

short distances when a dedicated de-
vice is used in compliance with the
Highway Code (rigid bar), in order to
move the vehicle on the road in prepa-
ration for towing by a tow truck Tow
hooks MUST NOT be used to tow ve-
hicles off the road or where there are
obstacles and/or for towing operations
using cables or other non-rigid devices.
