Is it permitted for a passenger car to tow another broken-down passenger car while driving on a motorway or dual carriageway?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is No. According to the General Traffic Regulations in Spain, towing an accident-damaged or broken-down vehicle by another vehicle not specifically designed for this purpose (a private car) is strictly prohibited on motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías). On these high-speed roads, for safety reasons, the vehicle must only be removed by an authorized roadside assistance vehicle (tow truck). The exception allowing a car to tow another to a safe place applies only to conventional roads and under very specific circumstances, never on a motorway.
