How must the towing of a broken-down or accident-damaged vehicle be carried out to comply with regulations?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The general rule (General Traffic Regulations) states that towing a broken-down or accident-damaged vehicle must be carried out exclusively by an authorized roadside assistance vehicle (tow truck).  However, there is an important exception: on conventional roads (never on motorways or dual carriageways), another vehicle is exceptionally allowed to tow the broken-down one, but only to the nearest place where it can be safely immobilized without obstructing traffic, provided safety conditions are met.  The other options are incorrect because: A private individual can never tow on a motorway/highway. 'Any vehicle' cannot be used (it must have the capacity and safety features). It is not 'totally prohibited' due to the mentioned exception.
