How the exam asks it

On the N50 near Kampen you tow a stranded car to the garage. According to the book, what applies to the tow cable?

  1. Sound, on the attachment points, max. 5 metres, always taut
  2. The longer the cable, the safer — so well over 5 metres
Show the answer

Correct answer: Sound, on the attachment points, max. 5 metres, always taut

Max. 5 metres, always taut

Why learners get this wrong: The more distance between the towing car and the towed vehicle, the safer — so a cable longer than 5 metres is actually better.

About Towing a broken-down car: which statement is WRONG?

  1. It does not matter which of the two drivers steers the towed vehicle — steering is steering.
  2. 'the distance between the two vehicles may be a maximum of 5 metres' and 'always keep the tow cable taut'. When towing, a shorter, taut cable is the safe choice, not a longer one.
  3. 'you may only tow one vehicle'. No exception for busy traffic or convenience.
  4. Always keep the tow cable taut: the driver of the towed vehicle brakes a little more than the one in front.

Correct answer: It does not matter which of the two drivers steers the towed vehicle — steering is steering.

Why learners get this wrong: The more distance between the towing car and the towed vehicle, the safer — so a cable longer than 5 metres is actually better.
