The car consists of tens of thousands of parts, and any of them can fail at any time. If you have the skills and experience, and the failure is not relevant, the problem can be easily fixed. But what if to repair the vehicle at the place of the impossible? In this case, access to SRT can only tow. That is why, going to go, especially for the long term, you need to have a tow rope.

The most convenient are nylon ropesthis cable takes up little space, he has the necessary elasticity and extraordinary strength. In the SDA correct length of rope, which is 4-6 m cable should be 3 to 5 flags that are visible day and night.



If the person who You will be towed, is an experienced motorist, think, perhaps, have only about their actions. But when both cars sit beginners - everything is much worse. But such an option could be attributed to the extreme case.

Master and slave agree in advance on conditional signs and signals. Leading warns of turns, the forced braking, etc. In any case, the lead car should move with the dipped headlights, and the slave - enabled alarms. All this is necessary to ensure that road users understand what is happening to tow the car.

While driving tow rope should be in constant tensionjust so both cars will move smoothly. When the leading vehicle starts to roll, it at minimum speed must choose the cable, i.e., slow to roll, until the cable is not stretched, and only when driven car budge, you can start to accelerate. During the movement you need is smooth, but fast enough to switch the transmission, so as not to twitch and not slow down, leaving the rope under tension.

Special attention should be paid to the detours, turns, climbs and descents. When the turns and detours all depends on the host, and the successful overcoming UPS and downs depends only on the slave. The ascent and descent should be "in one breath". View of the road slave covers leading, so the first should be slightly shifted to the centre of the road. Don't forget that cars with automatic transmission, you can tow only in neutral. Tow - must pass at speeds less than 50 km/h and a towing distance must not exceed 50 km

Cars with four-wheel drive (Audi Quattro, almost all Subaru and others), tow only with raised bridge (front or rear), speed and distance should be such as described above. If you have a locking differential, this function cannot be used while towing.
