Is it allowed to tow a vehicle using a rigid coupling if the vehicle has a faulty steering wheel system?
aNo.
bYes, but only in an unbuilt area.
cYes, but only in a built-up area.
Why?
A rigid tow bar does not replace a working steering system, because the towed vehicle still needs to be steered. The prohibition applies both inside and outside built-up areas, so B and C are incorrect. An exception applies when the towing method eliminates the need for steering, which a rigid tow bar alone does not do.
