Is it permitted for a car to tow a broken-down hazardous materials truck on a highway?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, it is strictly forbidden. General Traffic Regulations state that on motorways and highways (autovías), towing broken-down vehicles by other private vehicles (such as a car) is not allowed. This task is reserved exclusively for roadside assistance vehicles (tow trucks). The exception for towing to a safe place by a private vehicle only applies to conventional roads, never on highways. Furthermore, the nature of hazardous materials makes professional intervention even more critical.
