country.

vehicle is higher than that of the towed

hicle must have a valid driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use an

tance for braking or steering. In the following cases, you must always
call on a professional recovery service:

or fast road,
- 4 wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the gear-
box into neutral, unlock the steering,
or release the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the
ground,
- where there is no approved towing
bar available...
