Question 946

As an exception, and under safe conditions, on roads other than freeways (autopistas) or high-capacity divided highways (autovías), may one vehicle be towed by another vehicle not intended for this purpose?

  1. Yes, provided the distance traveled does not exceed 10 kilometers.
  2. Yes, but only as far as the nearest place where it can be safely left stationary.
  3. No, it may only be towed by a vehicle intended for that purpose, such as a tow truck.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, it may only be towed by a vehicle intended for that purpose, such as a tow truck.

A broken-down or crashed vehicle may only be towed by a vehicle intended for that purpose, such as a tow truck. Since July 2021, another car is no longer allowed to tow it, not even to the nearest place.
