When towing a car on a rigid tow bar, does the towed car need a driver in it?

Question

KET Užduotys · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: Yes, a driver is required with both towing methods.. Explanation: You may not tow a vehicle with no one at its wheel, no matter how it is hitched — rigid bar or flexible rope. The towed car needs a driver who brakes, steers and reacts to the road. Many people wrongly think a rigid bar makes a driver unnecessary because the car seems locked in place, but it does not.. KET reference: KET 217.3: towing is forbidden, on both a rigid tow bar and a flexible rope, when the towed vehicle has no driver in it.
