Explanation

Towing a crashed or broken-down vehicle on a motorway (autopista) or dual carriageway (autovía) must always be done by a vehicle specially designed for this purpose, such as a tow truck. This is important because these vehicles are designed to do the job safely, reducing the risk of accidents and making sure the broken-down vehicle is removed from the road properly.
