Correct answer
- BNo.No.
No. Removing a broken-down or damaged vehicle is the job of a vehicle equipped for roadside assistance, such as a tow truck; not just any vehicle can do it. Article 130 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) no longer includes the old exception that allowed towing to the nearest suitable place on roads other than motorways and dual carriageways.
