> It may be necessary to tow cars suddenly and often it is necessary to do this over decent distances. However, this manipulation has its own nuances that must be observed so that everything goes smoothly and your broken car is delivered safely safe and sound.

What is towing?

This is a set of measures aimed at moving a temporarily faulty car using a third-party vehicle. There are three options for car tow long distance:

• on the hitch - rigid or flexible;
• with partial loading of the machine;
• with full vehicle loading.

For the first, cables are used: metal, ropes, slings, jerky or dynamic cables, or solid triangular structures for a rigid hitch. All of them have the same essence, one part of the rope or structure is attached to the side of a serviceable car, and the second is attached to the broken one and towing begins. A rigid hitch is considered safer, because it allows you to keep the vehicle on a single line while driving. The trolley is used for partial loading of the machine onto a special structure, which is attached to the working car with the other part and towing is carried out. With full loading, towing is also called transportation by an auto transporter. This option is the safest and most efficient.

Towing features - what you need to know?

When towing on a broken car, there must be signs of emergency status - stop lights are on or an accident sign is installed. Both vehicles must be driven by drivers, but transportation of passengers in a broken car is prohibited. If we are talking about transportation with a slide, then there should be no passengers in a serviceable car. We must not forget about the importance of maintaining a distance of 4-6 m, a rigid hitch is limited to 4 m between two cars, while the maximum speed is 50 km/h. It is very important to take into account that the transportation of cars on a cable is prohibited if breakdowns of the brake or steering system are diagnosed, as well as if the mass of the towed car is greater than the mass of the towing one. If the weight of the towed car is normal, then despite the breakdown of the brake system, it can be transported on a rigid hitch, but if a breakdown of the steering part is noted, then only the method of rolling or full loading of the car remains.

What if you need to transport far away?

When it comes to transporting problem vehicles over long distances, a cable or even a rigid hitch is not the best option. Tackle is relevant, but full loading is best. The following speaks in her favor:

• safety - the car is fully protected from any unforeseen situations on the road;
• speed - such a towing vehicle does not need to comply with the 50 km/h limit, they move like trucks with a fragile load;
• reliability - the machine is perfectly fixed and for successful transportation it does not matter where the problem of malfunction lies.
