If a truck intended for the transport of dangerous goods breaks down while driving on a dual carriageway, is it permitted for a passenger car to tow it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

A broken-down or crashed vehicle may only be moved by another vehicle specifically intended for the roadside assistance service on public roads and entered in the State Register of Roadside Assistance on Public Roads (Article 8(4) of Royal Decree 159/2021). Since 1 July 2021 it is no longer possible for another vehicle to tow it to the workshop or to the nearest exit. The only exception is for exceptional causes relating to the mass or dimensions of the broken-down vehicle, which require another type of assistance vehicle to be used; it does not allow a passenger car to tow a dangerous goods truck. Therefore, it is not correct for a passenger car to tow it, either to the nearest workshop or to the nearest exit.
