Highways and motorways
Explanation
In the event that a vehicle experiences an **emergency** on a **motorway**, such as an accident or a breakdown, it is important to follow certain rules to ensure the safety of all road users.
- If the vehicle cannot continue driving, it must stop on the **hard shoulder** or in the **central reservation** of the motorway. The people inside the vehicle should exit and position themselves in a safe place, whenever possible, and wear reflective vests to be visible.
- To **tow** a broken-down vehicle on a motorway, only specially prepared and authorized vehicles, such as **tow trucks**, can do so. This is because tow trucks are equipped to perform this task safely and efficiently, minimizing the risk of additional accidents.
- It is not permitted for any vehicle to tow another on a motorway, as this could pose a danger to traffic and not comply with road safety regulations.
Therefore, the only correct option is for a **tow truck** to perform the towing in these situations.
