brakes.

only on hard-surfaced roads for a
short distance and at low speeds.

steering and brakes must all be ingood condition.

vehicle out of mud, sand or other
conditions from which the vehicle
cannot be driven out under its own
power.
Avoid towing a vehicle heavier than the vehicle doing the towing.
The drivers of both vehicles should communicate with each other fre-
quently.
