Tow bar recovery.

Towing of a disabled vehicle by another vehicle, without raising an end of the disabled vehicle

off the ground and transferring weight to the towing vehicle, can not be recommended, except in cases of emergency and

then only for short distances of 1 mile or less.

Speeds must be kept under 20 mph.

Even slower speeds are necessary

on curves, turns, and maneuvers.

Also remember, only one of the vehicles has braking, so the combined stopping

distances are at least 4 times as great.
