While driving on a dual carriageway, a vehicle intended for the transport of dangerous goods breaks down. Is it correct for a car to tow it?
Highways and motorways
Explanation
When a **vehicle intended for the transport of dangerous goods** breaks down on a motorway, it cannot be towed by just any vehicle, such as a passenger car. This is because only **vehicles authorized and equipped for roadside assistance**, such as tow trucks, can perform this task.
In the event of a breakdown, the vehicle must be parked on the right shoulder or in a place where it causes the least possible obstruction. Additionally, it is important that the people inside the vehicle move to a safe location and that the emergency lights and the hazard warning light are used to alert other drivers.
Therefore, it is **prohibited** for a passenger car to tow a dangerous goods vehicle on a motorway, as it is neither equipped nor authorized to perform this maneuver safely.
